The first answer to the question, which artistic style most fully expresses the feeling of luxury, joy of life, exquisite pleasure, will be - modern.
Art nouveau artists have gathered, it seems, the most beautiful thing that was in the world art history - from the mythology and heritage of ancient civilizations, folk art and the Renaissance; Eastern ornaments, early Christian mosaics, colored glass, gold leaf ... And they decorated all this with life. Everything was beautiful, from the pediment of the building to the curl on the back of the chair, from the book cover to the magnificent wall-to-wall panel.
It was such a panel industrialist Stoke ordered Gustav Klimt, the main artist of the Vienna Secession (as in Austria called modernism). Reproduction of the central part of the triptych - "The Tree of Life" - today decorates the boutique hotel "Tema", which we dedicated to the great master.
Klimt's creations are fabulous decorativeness, delightful pure colors, spicy color, sensual eroticism. Wall paintings, which he created by order of the University of Vienna, critics even called pornographic! But this did not stop him being an incredibly popular artist and writing women, turning them into "precious orchids emerging from a magic dream."
"Gustav" invites you to a magical dream, imbued with the aesthetics of Art Nouveau, a dream in which beauty and harmony rule the world!
