 Somaesthetics: A Disciplinary Proposal
Baumgarten's original aesthetic project will be seen to have far greater scope and practical import than what we recognize as aesthetics today, implying an entire program of philosophical self-perfection in the art of living.
The wide-ranging utility that Baumgarten claims for aesthetics is implicit in his initial definition of the discipline: "Aesthetics (as the theory of the liberal arts, science of lower cognition, the art of beautiful thinking, and art of analogical thought) is the science of sensory cognition" (§1).
Baumgarten insists especially on "keenness of sensation," "imaginative capacity," "penetrating insight," "good memory," "poetic disposition," "good taste," "foresight," and "expressive talent."

Gustav Klimt was born in Baumgarten, a rural suburb of Vienna, on 14 July, 1862, the eldest son of an unsuccessful goldsmith and engraver.
Vienna had become an epicentre of culture; creativity had reached a fever pitch, as had a preoccupation with eroticism.
Freud saw phallic symbols in every upright object, and even Adolf Loos, whose work was so severe and who accused Klimt of "erotic pollution", interpreted the horizontal line as a recumbent female, and the vertical as a penetrating male.

 Gustav Klimt   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
In 1897, Gustav Klimt took an interest in politics and rallied other artists to found the Vienna Sezession, a Art Nouveau movement whose goal was to give young, innovative artists a chance to get exposure, and to revolt against the conservative attitudes of the academic art world.
Many of his works were considered too sensual for the mores of early 20th Century Vienna, and even his more historical, or mythical works featuring nudes were often criticized for being too erotic.
From the opulence of the Viennese Bourgeoisie to the mythological, from eroticism to the simple beauty of nature, Klimt's artwork always maintained its highly stylized feel, but what remains one of its most fascinating traits is that while concentrating on the superficial, its depth cannot be ignored.
