Reason: An unfinished portrait by Gustav Klimt dating from 1917-18 towards the end of his life. In his last period, Klimt was influenced by the rise of Fauvism. His paintings became more colourful and abstract in nature, and this unfinished work demonstrates his plan of execution. Otto Zuckerkandl was a distinguished surgeon. Amalie was a Christian who converted to Judaism to marry Zuckerlandl. The couple were divorced after the First World War. During the Second World War she and her daughter Nora were deported by the Nazis to the Bełżec extermination camp where they were murdered.

Comment: I would like to support this, but I am unconvinced by the EV- in the article on the exhibition (which, naturally enough, is very heavily illustrated) the image is only used in a gallery, while I'm unconvinced of the EV of the image when it's used to illustrate the work's subject in an article about the subject's husband.

Yes, that's true. I did put in something about Fauvism in the exhibition article, but it got buried, and I think that's right about its EV. I'm contemplating providing some starts for Klimt's better known paintings, but it would mean forking out a couple of hundred pounds for his catalogue raissoné. Maybe at the New Year, but I also want to write up Piet Mondrian who comes into PD next year. (CoMC abroad) 138.199.77.225 (talk) 07:15, 19 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
