STEPHEN CHEETHAM Cats Bag

A patchwork of patterns. An enigmatic embrace. A mesmerizing moment. Enter into the golden glory of Gustav Klimt’s, The Fulfillment tote bag. The embrace of a man and woman in a moment of mutual self-abandon.They are swathed in shining bursts of drapery like a halo, an aura that bathes and blesses them, as if they are enclosed in the moment of their union and it sprays them with molten gold, which on the surface of the picture is as shining and wet as it is monumental. Everything is liquid light. © MAK, Vienna.

Obvious eroticism. Feminine fascination. Divine designs. Artist Gustav Klimt was born in Austria in 1862 and became best known for his luminous, sensuous, tapestry-like paintings, most of which depict women or men and women together.
