...Ver Sacrum is the most important source of documentation for the artist’s work. Not only because of the many photographs of his works, whether finished or in intermediate phases, and of his exhibitions, but primarily those of his drawings, which one is able to date precisely on this basis. Many of them were made expressly for Ver Sacrum and may thus be considered artistic works in their own right. “The last secret was revealed to him: the art of eschewing anything expendable. His hand became a divining rod
he let it glide softly over the appearances of the world until it divulged to him in a flash what lay behind it: these masterly drawings depict the shorthand notes of his waving of the rod over the fountain of appearances. His eye had almost become blinded in the bath of fire that is the conception of the manifest
his hand now harks to the sounds of the primal source. To one side, lies the base clarity of daylight, to which he has never paid attention.” H. Bahr cited in E. Pirchan, Gustav Klimt, Vienna 1956
Klimt persönlich, Leopold Museum, Vienna, 2012.
