Herbert Eisenschenk

To this day, Gustav Klimt's private life is largely unknown. Klimt was considered an introverted and publicity-shy person. Only a few friends knew the knocking code that authorized entry to his studio. Eisenschenk approaches the artist and his mysterious world in a cautious manner.

An account of the short life and the astonishing and provocative work of the Austrian painter Egon Schiele (1890-1918), seen through the peculiar point of view and the critic voices of the women who defined the paramount milestones of his existence: Gerti, his sister; Wally, his main model and lover; and Edith, his wife. A brief story of love, hate, betrayal and misfortune.

The performances of the composer and violin star Niccolò Paganini in the first half of the 19th century must have made a deep impression. With his demonic egocentricity, Paganini became famous and very rich. He became even richer thanks to the secret contents of a wooden box that accompanied him, well concealed, inside his private carriage on his travels through Europe.
