In 1903, a year before Gustav Klimt painted ''Water Serpents I'', the artist was visiting Italy and was awed by the early Christian mosaics that incorporated an amalgamation of symbols, patterns, gold leaf filigree, and stark, sharp brushstrokes. The style was to influence him for the rest of his life and, along with his fascination with Byzantine devotional icons, would inform the genesis of his Gold period, of which ''Water Serpents I'' was an early hint. Like Klimt's ''Mother and Child and Goldfish'', ''Water Serpents I'' features angular, distorted gestural movements, with aquatic female forms jostling for position amid the ornamental reeds and riverbed, craning their bodies into an embrace. A playful game of tactility and depth, Klimt's painting is no reproduction of a mythical dream, but a journey across - and between - surfaces.
