Gustav Klimt's "Bride"

The next painting the title is Bride, this is also an unfinished painting. And it looks very strange because we can see women in different movement in completely scattered forms, like biological thing. And what is interesting that in his early years, in his early period, he used rather ornamentical forms in the background, but later he changed it to a rather geometrical motifs. And we can recognize the clothes around the woman and are also geometrical decorated, and the background is really dark, so it's a very symbolical painting about the origin of life and the process of being women, and the contact with the nature.
