The Naked Truth. Gustav Klimt and his Vienna around 1900

On the occasion of the 160th anniversary of the birth of Gustav Klimt (1862–1918), the Theatermuseum is showcasing one of this great painter and graphic artist‘s most important paintings, his Nuda Veritas (1899), in a new setting against the backdrop of radical artistic reform movements in Vienna around 1900.

Vienna around 1900 is shaped by a mood of departure in the artistic, intellectual, and academic fields. The city sees a unique concentration of cultural achievements that form the ground of the Viennese Modernism. When Gustav Klimt first exhibits his painting Nuda Veritas in 1899, he is the first president of the Vienna Secession since its foundation in 1897 and one of the movement‘s figureheads. The painting is a bid for veracity in art, pleading for uncompromising artistic representation. With this work, Klimt reacts to the lack of understanding he encounters from the public. The proverbial ‚naked truth‘ steps forward as a life-size nude holding up a mirror to her beholders.
