EDITORS COMMENTS
The Girlfriends, 1916-17 (destroyed in 1945) by Gustav Klimt captures a moment of intimacy and dignity between two women. This iconic artwork, unfortunately lost to history, was part of the Lederer Collection and resided at the Osterreichisches Galerie in Vienna. In this print, Klimt masterfully portrays the bond between these girlfriends with sensitivity and grace. The women are depicted nude, symbolizing vulnerability and trust within their relationship. Their bodies intertwine effortlessly as they embrace each other, showcasing a deep connection that transcends societal norms. Adding an element of intrigue to the composition is an exotic bird perched on one woman's shoulder. Its presence suggests a sense of freedom and liberation that these girlfriends may have found in their companionship. Tragically, during World War II, retreating SS troops set fire to Schloss Immendorf where this painting was housed along with other valuable artworks from the Lederer Collection. As a result, 'The Girlfriends' became another casualty of war. Though physically destroyed, its legacy lives on through prints like this one provided by www. bridgemanart. com. It serves as a reminder not only of Klimt's artistic genius but also of the power and beauty found in female friendships.
