This special exhibition examines Klimt's landscapes in the context of his larger oeuvre, tracing the evolution of his style from one informed by historicism and the academic tradition to an embrace of Symbolist tendencies. After the founding of the Vienna Secession in 1897, Klimt became a leading exponent of the modern movement. He spent a decade exploring the ideal of the Gesamtkunstwerk, and his approach became more decorative and ornate during this period, culminating in his Golden Style. He then turned to a more painterly approach, working in pure colour and influenced by French artists in particular.

The competition was born as a permanent forum for the two main pillars of Ferdinand Wolfgang Neess' life: his Art Nouveau collection and his musical life as a flautist. The competition reflects this duality, bridging the gap between Art Nouveau and the music of the period.
It is organised by Prof. Cordula Hacke, managing director and board member of the organising institution, together with the Wiesbaden Academy of Music, the City of Wiesbaden, and the support of Danielle Neess, the patron's widow.
