Gustav Klimt
Gustav Klimt - Profile of a Girl (Study for ‘Thalia and Melpomene’). (1898-99) - MoMA
The Big Poplar II (1903) by Gustav Klimt.
bh: I prefer Klimt’s landscapes and figure drawings to anything else he did.
An eclectic essayist is necessarily a dilettante, which is not in itself a bad thing. But Gladwell frequently holds forth about statistics and psychology, and his lack of technical grounding in these subjects can be jarring. He provides misleading definitions of “homology,” “saggital plane” and “power law” and quotes an expert speaking about an “igon value” (that’s eigenvalue, a basic concept in linear algebra). In the spirit of Gladwell, who likes to give portentous names to his aperçus, I will call this the Igon Value Problem: when a writer’s education on a topic consists in interviewing an expert, he is apt to offer generalizations that are banal, obtuse or flat wrong.
