LE PETIT COWBOY PRESENTS
PALMENHAUS, VIENNA
Three days in Vienna is too short.
It's impossible to see everything, to see what's essential.
What a marathon, to see the treasures of the city!
It's a city steeped in history. So many people went through it...
Thinkers, artists... Artists!
I think you'll only visit the tourist attractions.
In three days... You'll only see Hofburg palace,
the butterfly house, the Belvedere,
the Opera, the museums...
- So many museums! - I'd like to see Klimt.
- Klimt? - Yeah, I love him.
- I have a painting. - He's a reference.
- The Kiss? - Yes, that's it!
It is no surprise, you know.
- I wake up every morning... - It's a cliché.
It's in all girls' bedrooms.
It's only a copy, I don't like copies.
They just wither the painting.
They belittle it. They kind of insult it.
It's not my favourite. There's The Kiss,
but also The Beethoven Friese.
That is a jewel, a gift from Klimt to the world!
- A woman gripping a gorilla. - A female ape, no?
No, a gorilla. She grips it so tenderly, it's...
There is so much between them, this relationship is everything!
It's just so beautiful !
Can you imagine Klimt hugging his gorilla?
It's only his imagination.
- Can you imagine it? - It's imagination!
Aren't you naive here? Klimt had to have a model!
A cliché about the relation to the Muse...
Absolutely not!
- No, everyone can feel it! - It's only imagination!
No, he was at the center of it!
He was in another dimension, he was just so strong!
He took everything and he put it in this painting!
Every week, I go and watch this Friese for twenty minutes.
I see it, feel it, live it!
Last week, it took me two or three hours to get over it.
I was seeing the gorilla everywhere, and the woman...
- Is it not a female ape? - I told you it's a gorilla!
I was so confused! Everything was in it! I was...
But can you imagine the relation between the model and the painter?
Maybe Klimt shagged the female ape?
You think of it that way,
but I'm not about all that. There are other things.
This is just anecdotal. You're reducing his work.
You're even offending it, it's so powerful! Of course it is!
Well, don't you find it powerful to desire an animal?
Well, yes...You have the right to make such a twisted analysis.
I don't share that opinion. It's your point of view.
Well...
Listen, I have some time this week.
Call me and I'll take you to the Museum of Natural History.
Have a nice day, I was happy to see you.
He wants to see the female ape?
