The women in painting whose expression are calm, perhaps, are a little
bit delighted but are not too much, they seem to think something when
we stare at their eyes. Klimt set up those women in two different worlds,
one is real, the other is fantastic. Women were draw realistically, but the
backgrounds were arranged as a fictitious world, through such composition,
women did not exist alone in the painting, there was a bustling world
around her. The women and their backgrounds seem to be not correlate,
but they set off each other via contrast.
Looking at these paintings, they inspire me to think of the “Art Deco” and
“Mix and Match” even if I know Klimt did not has any relation with those
design movements. I wonder why Klimt utilized the Oriental objects (such as
Chinese opera characters, phoenix) to decorate the Western women portraits,
supposedly, this kind of arrangement might make the painting to be odd,
however, after his deliberate and painstaking drawing, those portraits were
presented in very unique and aesthetic feel.

Yes, it could be if you have sawn 董陽孜’s work. She pays more
attention on the arrangement of empty spaces to deal with every single
character and whole scroll. As such, we can always see superb
deployment which forms the integral aesthetic feel. Moreover,
董陽孜brings the methods of inkwash painting into the calligraphy,
sometimes, her works with ink is either thick and dense or pale and
light, smetimes, her brushtip is either parched or splaying.
Consequently, 董陽孜’s work is a kind of synthesis of painting and
calligraphy.

Michael Sowa was born in Berlin in 1945. He studied at the Academy of
Fine Art in Berlin and has worked in many capacities and published several
story books, Esterhazy being one of his best. Sowa's art evokes wonder
and amazement, a mix of surrealism and comic illustration, of humor and
seriousness. His work is whimsical, especially with the animal depictions.
He mirrors life with odd people, and "normal" animals occupied in human
activities. I especially love the "laptop sheep" and the "pig in the soup",
sometimes, in order to refresh mood, people need to stir their brain by
odd idea.
