Lady in gold : the extraordinary tale of Gustav Klimt’s masterpiece, Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer / by Anne-Marie O'Connor

Contributor to the Washington Post Anne-Marie O’Connor brilliantly regales us with the galvanizing story of Gustav Klimt’s 1907 masterpiece—the breathtaking portrait of a Viennese Jewish socialite, Adele Bloch-Bauer. The celebrated painting, stolen by Nazis during World War II, subsequently became the subject of a decade-long dispute between her heirs and the Austrian government.

Vincent Van Gogh: Casas en Auvers, 1890.

Darkcho is an album of #mystical #Hasidic music, that sounds more like an #indie #folk #rock album with tradition than what you would expect of a #religious album. The music is very real, very #meditative and very very #human. A #physical copy of this #record is hard to find. As we look at the art we see how #mysterious it all is. Hand written lyrics and notes cover the panels, but there is no label, there is no #website, there is no way of finding out any more information and to top it all off, when you flip the cover over you read these fascinating words: “These songs collected here belong to the Jewish people. They originate from #holiness. They speak of self nullification and redemption, the need for healing and discovering the depths of the #Holy #One #Blessed Be He in this #world and the next. We take no recognition for any part of the material, lest the actual performing of the music itself.“

We couldn’t let the album not be heard, so we have put together a digital release with a new painting by the #singer, in order to ensure that the #world hears it, aged in the barrels of #Eastern #European folklore and steeped in centuries of #Jewish #musical #tradition. The album plays like a #Tarantino #soundtrack to the #deepest, most #spiritual moments of #life; full of depth and #style, antiquity and #freshness.
