Klimt

I bought the mug in the middle one day because I was completely taken with the picture on it. It has inspired a quilt (still in progress so no pics yet). Sometime later I bought another and last Xmas my 14 yo daughter bought me the third. I only found out who the artist was when I brought home the second and said daughter commented "Oh yes, Klimt."
"What?" I said. "How do you know who painted this?" I had never even heard of Klimt.
Turns out she had learnt it at school...
I was a bit embarrassed: I didn't realise I was that uneducated... :( Klimt has done such stunning work and I have been missing out all this time...
Anyways, I remedied that very smartly, and I still LOVE the mugs. Can't bear to use them for drinking out of (they're fragile and WILL break) so I collect thread ends in them.
