| The Tree of Life by Gustav Klimt is painted in 1905. And it is in Austrian Museum of Applied Arts / Contemporary Art, Vienna. The Tree of Life is an important symbol in nearly every culture. With its branches reaching into the sky, and roots deep in the earth, it dwells in three worlds- a link between heaven, the earth, and the underworld, uniting above and below. It is both a feminine symbol, bearing sustenance, and a masculine, visibly phallic symbol- another union. | |
