Die Wiener Modeschöpferin Emilie Flöge war nicht nur Gustav Klimts langjährige Geliebte, sondern auch Muse und Modell für einige seiner schönsten Gemälde. Das Paar stand im Zentrum jenes legendären Künstlerkreises, der um die Jahrhundertwende von Wien aus die Kunst in ganz Europa beeinflusste. Zu diesem Kreis gehörten auch zahlreiche Fotografen, die die rasante Entwicklung der modernen Technik nutzten und das Leben der Künstler und Bohemiens dokumentierten. Der vom Wiener Belvedere herausgegebene Band präsentiert erstmals sämtliche Fotografien von Klimt mit Flöge und zeichnet damit nicht nur ein faszinierendes Bild vom Leben dieses Paares und seiner Zeit, sondern spürt auch dem Einfluss nach, den bildende Kunst und Fotografie wechselseitig aufeinander ausübten.
Emilie Flöge was only a teenager when she met the painter Gustav Klimt, but their friendship soon evolved into a complex and loving relationship that lasted the rest of their lives. Alfred Weidinger, an acclaimed expert on Klimt and his contemporaries, has compiled an exhaustive collection of photographs relating to the artist and his designer muse. While Klimt took many of these shots, other photographers include Carl Schuster, Victor von Spitzer, Hugo Henneberg, Pauline Kruger Hamilton, Anton Josef Trcka (Antios), and unknown individuals who had access to the couple’s private lives. Presented chronologically, they offer insight into the creatively charged world that Klimt and Flöge inhabited—a world they influenced with their enormous talent and passions.

There are going to be some inevitable misreads with the line, “Arthur says I am getting fat.” To clarify, Arthur’s likely speaking from two obviously-pleased/complimenting perspectives
1. Assuming she wasn’t bluffing about her current state, Lucy was previously wasting away and feeling unhealthy. Her gaining weight is a good thing! Which Arthur, seeing an improvement in her well-being, would obviously comment on.
2. Recall that this is all going down in a pre-’Skinny = Sexy’ era. Girls sought a plumper figure as a sign of health and beauty, and guys sought girls for the same reason. In fact, toward the very far end of the 1890′s the only fat shaming trend skewed towards assuming plump women were promiscuous. “What are you doing with all that cellulite, you harlot? Tempting poor, innocent men?” But, Arthur being the smitten fellow he is/will be revealed as in coming chapters, is obviously 1000 miles from the latter, but thoroughly appreciating the former.
Or, in short (again, assuming she is not fudging true events to Mina):
Arthur: Lucy, you didn’t tell me you had a twin sister.
Lucy: What? I don’t have a sister.
Arthur, extremely proud of himself, holding up a peach: Then why do I see such a family resemblance? :)
Lucy: Arthur, my mother is UPSTAIRS--
