The Tree of Life was painted during Egyptian Revival period, do you think the repeat Eye of Horus was because of Egyptian image popularity? Or was it more of a life stage statement? That symbol was popular in funerary art.
Yes, Oprah did very well for herself by flipping Klimt's painting.
I won't pretend to know anything about the Eye of Horus (had to Google it just now), but you ask really good questions. I may need to do a follow up piece on that :)
Thank you for this interesting biography! I really love his work and had never heard his reason for adding the gold.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Wow…..Oprah made bank with that sale!!
