Klinger was a close friend and collaborator with the -- more famous -- Viennese artist, Gustav Klimt.

Scaled-down Weekly Postings

Thanks for contemplating my mundane, bizarre, or cliché “visions.” Out of lust for time I’ll now be posting items to this site every five days or so instead of the three day intervals that I’ve been posting up to now.

The next post will be up by Monday July 25th.
