Catalogue Note
Ce portrait iconique, dont la composition géométrique de l’arrière-plan de la photographie est en ligne avec les principes de la Wiener Werkstätte, représente le grand émissaire du mouvement Jugendstil (Art Nouveau) dans une situation intime. Moritz Nähr était ami de longue date de Klimt et propriétaire d’un atelier photographique à Vienne dans lequel il pratiquait une photographie revendiquée comme art à part entière. Il était parmi ceux qui rejettent les compositions traditionnelles de l'époque et que Klimt avait, par conséquent, soigneusement choisi pour réaliser ses portraits.
