The Little will screen Klimt and Schiele – Eros and Psyche (Michele Mally, Italy 2018, 95 min.) as part of the Little Summer of Music and Art series.

Delve into the turn-of-the century Vienna artworld and tour through exhibitions of Klimt and Schiele's legendary works.

1918. As the roar of the First World War cannons is dying out, in Vienna, the heart of Central Europe, a golden age comes to an end. The Austro-Hungarian Empire is beginning to disintegrate. Since the dawn of the century, Gustav Klimt and Egan Schiele have fundamentally changed the feeling of art, through a new way of painting that portrayed the restlessness, fears and desires of mankind.

Taking place across five stunning exhibitions with never-before-seen access, Klimt and Schiele: Eros and Psyche recounts this extraordinary moment in art history — a magical moment for art, literature and music, in which new ideas are circulated, Freud discovers the depths of the psyche, and women begin to claim their independence.
