Water snakes I (The Girlfriends I), 1904/7 – The theme of female sexuality and mystical union with the deep is treated in this picture of womens’ bodies swaying in harmony with the movement of water. As the leading exponent of Austrian Jugendstil or Art Nouveau painting, which often took women as its central motif, Klimt attempts to create a new harmony based on the rhythmic, flowing lines of nature.
