Avenue in Schloss Kammer Park was painted in 1912 by Austrian Symbolist Gustav Klimt. This landscape piece depicts a paved road heading straight through a mass of trees to a diminished yellow house at the end. Like many of Klimt’s visually enticing pieces, the eye is forced here down the path past each and every tree. The house becomes the visual center or landing spot on the journey from the beginning to the middle of the painting. Avenue in Schloss Kammer Park The was done in the style of Art Nouveau, a French movement that developed in the last years of the nineteenth century. Gustav Klimt’s interest in Art Nouveau can be seen in the way that nature seems to engulf the house, rendering but a mere glimpse of it through the open circle of trees. This is meant to transport the viewer into a different realm where nature is the master and therefore dominates the canvas. As with many of Klimt’s works, this painting could be a metaphor for the femme-fatale. Mother nature takes the role of the dominant female here with man’s role forced onto a paved road leading straight into a dark entrance of a house. There seems to be very little escape from the Avenue in Schloss Kammer Park. Also evident of Klimt’s work is the swirling color of the trees creating an otherworldly feel altogether in this mystical painting.
