The story

Apples? Pears? The art historians are still arguing about it and Klimt left no notes.

What he did leave is this. Farmhouse at Upper Austria. A farmhouse almost completely swallowed by two trees so full of fruit they stop making sense. You start counting and lose your place. You start over.

He painted this around 1905. In the summers he went to the Austrian countryside and just painted trees. No gold. No symbolism anyone could pin down. Just pears. Or apples.
