Fish Blood
In 1898 Klimt published in the Ver
Sacrum a drawing entitled Fish Blood. Here Klimt, for the first time, reveals
sensual fusion of bodies carried toward the marine depths. The metaphor of
water, for Klimt, was important because of its fluid lines and serpentine
convolutions where bodies would seem to float in space. In this single drawing,
female eroticism was liberated from moral constraints and social
convention.
