The Psychological Elements of Klimt's ArtFrom Psycho-gender perspective,the thesis analyses psychological elements inKlimt's art,so as to discover the inter-links between the evolution of art styleand his psycho-quality and to show the psycho-scene as a medium of visual expression,communication and interpretation in klimt's works.The fascination with instinct desire is the latent core of his art,whichembodies the synthesis of the irrationalism and psycho-transformation of ideologyand culture of European Fin-de-si(?)cle and Austrian introversive psycho-quality,andat the same time,derives from his male complex.His art,consisting of allegoricalpaintings,female portraits and erotic nude drawings,corresponded with hispsychological and mental process,which consist of self-reshuffle,psychologicalprojection,psychological ambivalence and psychological release,in differentlevels and fields.In his allegorical painting,Klimt reexplained the femalearchetypes of ancient myths or contexts of literature and music in a psycho-instinctway.In his female portraits,by ornamental elements and male gaze,he released hismental crisis appeared as paradoxistence of fascination with sexual femininity andfear of female energy.In his female nude drawings,Klimt fabricated a psycho-mentalspectacle of voyeurism and depicted the desiring women frankly to release thedepression of his male erotic instinct.These psychological elements are latentorigination of his art,which shows as the combination of naturalistic depictionof figures and ornamental form and abstract visual elements in a kind of aestheticaland decadent aura.Female figure is the main role of visual narration in Klimt's works.His femaleimages embodied male artist's sex and death instincts,male mental crisis ofFin-de-si(?)cle and male complex of extremely fascinated with female desire.Basedon the interpretation of female image,the thesis analyses the visual narration ofpsycho-scene as the medium of communication in klimt's artistic production,imagesand works being seen,and represents the psycho-scenario consist of metaphor ofbody,visual narration of images and visual-psycho actions consist of see,gaze and voyeur,and reveals the hidden psychological elements and psycho-quality based on gendercharacter.The thesis points out that klimt's representation of psycho-scene in art isderived from the subterranean realm of unconscious,that is different from Freud'sconscious analysis of other's and his own psycho-phenomenon in his psychoanalysisscientific career.This opinion is a supplement to western Klimt's research.Theclose connection of Klimt's art and psychological elements and the representationof psychological instinct could be meaningful for Chinese contemporary art.
