Klimt: Tree of Life (Address Book) (Flame Tree Address Books)

Description

Address book companion to the exciting and luxurious Flame Tree Notebooks. Combining high-quality production with magnificent fine art, the covers are printed on foil in five colours, embossed, then foil stamped. And they're powerfully practical: a pocket at the back for receipts and scraps, two bookmarks and a solid magnetic side flap. These are perfect for personal use and make a dazzling gift. This example features Klimt's Tree of Life.

The Stoclet Palace was one of the grandest monuments of the Art Nouveau era. Klimt decorated three walls of the dining room with a mosaic frieze consisting of nine panels. Central to this Stoclet Frieze, The Tree of Life suggests the biblical Garden of Eden, the seasons, life and death and more. Its golden trunk and swirling branches were inspired by Japanese and ancient Egyptian art.
