Description
Gustav Klimt's ornate art is a testament to the apocalyptic atmosphere of Vienna's upper middle-class society at the turn of the 20th century. Characterised by gold, flowers, and the sensual portrayal of women, Klimt's work reflects the joy and pleasure that his contemporaries sought, while also acknowledging the inevitability of death.
As one of the greatest erotic painters and graphic artists of his time, Klimt's drawings are renowned for their artistic excellence. This book explores the artist's reputation and his role in shaping the aesthetic awareness of his era.
With 95 pages of illustrations and in-depth analysis, this illustrated edition provides a comprehensive look at Klimt's life and work, shedding light on the artist's enduring legacy.
