landscapes from direct observation. Gustav Klimt’s father Ernst died shortly before he began focusing solely on landscapes‚ and the family became financially dependant on him‚ which helps to explain his desire for escapism. Klimt produced ‘Farmhouse with Birch Trees (young birches)’ in 1900 using oil paint on a 31.5” x 31.9” canvas.

"Birches" (1916) When the narrator looks at the birch trees in the forest‚ he imagines that the arching bends in their branches are the result of a boy “swinging” on them.
