Excited by theartists in other countries who were beginning to rebel against orthodoxy Klimt began to develop newideas, and in 1897 he co-founded the Vienna Secession. The artists of the Vienna Secession did not forma single “school”; they were individuals, many of whom worked in very different fields, and they certainlyapproached their work in very different ways. But they shared similar goals and priorities in seeking tobreak free of the constraints of the late nineteenth century academic art establishment. In this powerfulwork, Klimt sought to portray the lifecycle of women in a realistic light. Awarded the gold medal at theEsposizione Internazionale d’Arte in Rome in 1911, this painting illustrates the passing of time.
