Klimt Turquoise Crêpe de Chine Scarf

DESIGNER'S NOTES

A rich turquoise and teal Fox & Chave silk crêpe de chine scarf with black and bright orange spots after an alternate colour way of the pattern from the painting Hope II by Gustav Klimt.

Klimt is renowned for his distinctive use of patterns, which play a crucial role in his art. His work is often characterised by a rich interplay of ornamental details and textures, contributing to the overall decorative quality of his paintings. Klimt’s patterns vary widely in texture, from smooth, flowing curves to sharp, angular shapes. This variety adds dynamism and depth to his paintings

Klimt’s patterns are often reminiscent of Byzantine mosaics, with their emphasis on gold and intricate design. This influence is evident in the elaborate patterns that cover surfaces in his works, giving them a timeless, almost sacred quality.

Hope II features one such distinctive pattern and its transposition has made it one of our most popular designs for silk.
