Art Nouveau Replicas|
Adam Antoni Rząsa's replicas of Gustav Klimt are not exact copies. On the contrary, the paintings are individual interpretations where A.A. Rząsa adopts the leitmotif but changes or adds some elements to achieve a harmonic art nouveau composition.

A.A. Rząsa uses the same demanding technique that has been used also by Klimt. First the grounded canvas is gilded with gold leaves. Then oil paint is applied in several coats. The gilding lends a unique liveliness to the painting. The work changes it's expression depending on current lighting, from dazzling temperament over cool elegance to warm sensitivity.
Of course, digital web pages can't reproduce this liveliness. But you can get a foretaste of it when you compare two photos of the same painting "Water Snakes" made at different lighting conditions.
