Gustav Klimt (1862-1918)
Klimt was an Austrian painter and founder of the Vienna Secession--a 20th-century art movement which rebelled against the established norms of the Academy system in favor of a highly decorative style similar to Art Nouveau.
Klimt's contribution to the art world is a series of highly sensual and decorative portraits which have become synonymous with female beauty and romantic love. His painting of "The Kiss"--perhaps the most famous--has a timeless quality of the passionate and monumental expression of human love. Notice the rich surface beauty of the flat forms and decorative patterning.
We are pleased to offer this collection of Klimt's work as but an introduction to his diverse talent. In particular, where available, we have illustrated Klimt's preparatory sketches side by side with his finished art works (i.e. The Kiss, The Embrace) in order to reveal his artistic process.
