During his summer retreat in Litzlberg on Lake Attersee, Klimt started his days at 6 o?clock with vast strolls in the woods. Locals called him a "Waldschrat" meaning somebody who lives in the woods on his own. The neoimpressionistic and pointillistic dissolution of the trees, seen here for the first time within Klimt?s oeuvre, leads to a limitation of space.
The patterned effects generated by Pointillism continued to inspire Klimt during his Austrian Alps holidays with Emilie Floge. The work is set, like all his landscapes, within a square composition, believed by mystics and Theosophists to be the symbol of perfected harmony and universal balance. Pine Forest shows the artistpriest at one with nature, communing with the divine through tranquil meditative contemplation.
The Romantics studied by Klimt were similarly inspired by nature. However, in a rare recorded comment, he also discusses how Post-Impressionist works of Paul Gauguin influenced him, comparing Gauguin's South Sea Island "life-frieze" works to a musical poem. This work enthralled Klimt during the period he spent recreating Beethoven and Schiller to visual music in Tlie Beethoven Frieze. Yet, whereas Gauguin's transcendentalism is realized through exotic idealized figures, Klimt's independent universe is the beauty of the surrounding countryside.
