Synopsis
Gustav Klimt was born in Austria in 1862. In his early career he received a public commission to paint a series of frescoes. He received the Gold Cross for Artistic Merit for his Burgtheater murals. However it is to the Viennese Secession that Klimt's name will most enduringly be linked. This revolutionary movement separated itself definitively from public, academic art. The artistic chaos which reigned in Vienna at the time made it an extraordinary place to live. The atmosphere of Klimt s Nuda Veritas could be likened to the slow languor of Strauss operas or to the theatre productions of Schnitzler. His paintings and the few of his drawings which were not destroyed by fire demonstrate a sensuality of rare delicacy. For Klimt All art is erotic , whether expressed through the extravagant Byzantine deco-ration of his Judith I, or through pure nudity. This book brings together Klimt's finest paintings, along with a text that demonstrates the extraordinary eclecticism of this great artist.

Seller: BWS BKS, Ferndale, NY, U.S.A.
Seller rating 2 out of 5 stars
Hardcover. Condition: New. Mega Square Collection; Gustav Klimt first made himself known by the decorations he executed (with his brother and their art school companion F. Matsch), for numerous theatres and above all (on his own this time) for the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, where he completed, in a coolly photographic style, the work begun by Makart. At the age of thirty he moved into his own studio and turned to easel painting. At thirty-five he was one of the founders of the Vienna Secession; he withdrew eight years later, dismayed by the increasingly strong trend towards naturalism. Seller Inventory # 98714
