Montblanc Masters of Art Fountain Pen Homage to Gustav Klimt Limited Edition 4810 M. Throughout history, great artists have expressed the human experience in a universal language of form and beauty. The Montblanc Masters of Art Collection pays tribute to their immortal contribution to the quest for perfection in art-a quest that Montblanc has always promoted and celebrated. One artist whose vision certainly helped shape Viennese Art Nouveau and the Golden Age is Gustav Klimt. The Montblanc Masters of Art Homage to Gustav Klimt Limited Edition 4810 celebrates his artistic beginnings in the Viennese Secession and in its design highlights elements from his masterpieces "Pallas Athena" and "The Kiss." With his rebellion against stereotypical concepts of art and society, Gustav Klimt was a pioneer of the avant-garde. Klimt knew how to blend realistic representation, ornament, and abstraction in a style that reached its zenith in the large, delicately sensual female portraits. One of the earliest paintings in which he equally enhanced the subject of the portrait and ornamentation is a 1902 portrait of his companion and muse Emilie Flöge, depicted in a dreamlike, almost mystical shade of blue. This artwork inspired the blue hue of the Montblanc Masters of Art Homage to Gustav Klimt Limited Edition 4810. The circles, spirals, triangles and lines that shimmer through the dark blue translucent lacquer of the writing instrument come from his famous painting "The Kiss," in which two lovers seem to dissolve into ornamental and geometric shapes through the power of emotion. Made of translucent blue lacquer and yellow gold-finished hammered metal, the cap and body of the writing instrument perfectly match complementary colors in reference to Gustav Klimt's famous works of the "golden period," including the "Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I," the Stoclet Palace Frieze and "The Kiss." Klimt used a new technique of enriching his colors with gold leaf sections, thus creating the impression of precious stones set in gold. In Limited Edition 4810, the yellow gold-finished hammered cone is embellished with a synthetic green spinel, a color that evokes spring, the season of new beginnings. Klimt's "Secession" monogram, a gold stamp of his initials - GK - refers to the artist's achievements within the Secession. The clip of the Homage to Gustav Klimt 4810 Limited Edition was specially made on the inspiration of Gustav Klimt's "Pallas Athena." Athena is the goddess of war and art, and is portrayed in the act of launching the fight for artistic freedom. The gently curved lines ending in three spirals on the yellow gold-finished clip match the decorations on the forged metal frame. The handcrafted Au 750 solid yellow gold nib is finely engraved with an owl, a symbol of knowledge, wisdom, and intuition, and is considered the faithful animal of the Greek goddess Athena. The engraving is a reference to Gustav Klimt's painting of "Pallas Athena" and also to the Viennese Secession building, whose side facades are decorated with owl sculptures.
