Reviewed By paulnS518OM - Cahors, France
I went to the exhibition "Gustav Klimt: Gold of modernism" in Artplay few days ago and have no regrets. In fact, I always believed that such a form of art simplifies it and carries it to the masses, I'll give you that. But this is a wonderful new experience. This could not be compared with the situation when you look at each smear on the original painting. It's completely different. It’s a very unusual and pleasant feeling when you compare what you saw in the museum with visuals on huge screens at the exhibition. Paintings come alive, they move, you can look at them from a different angle or even from up to down. I will recommend to see Klimt’s original works to everyone who liked the exhibition so that there is something to compare with. And if you haven’t already been to the exhibition, I advise you to take tickets on the site, it will be a little cheaper. And calculate the time, because you can see two exhibitions on one ticket!
