Items related to Gustav Klimt: In Search of the Total Artwork
For much of his career, Gustav Klimt was at the centre of a major artistic movement taking hold in Viennese culture, Gesamtkunstwerk or Total Artwork . The goal of this movement was to create unity among art forms: visual arts, architecture, music and design. This movement transformed the city, physically and philosophically, and made Klimt a celebrity. This gorgeous exhibition catalogue highlights many of Klimt s most important works and traces the significant stages of the artist s career: his involvement with the Viennese Secession, his collaboration with Josef Hoffman and Koloman Moser, and his role in the creation of the famed Kunstschau exhibition of 1908. In this volume, readers will find beautiful colour illustrations of Klimt s masterpieces. His famous Beethoven Frieze is reproduced in its entirety. The portraits of Judith I and Adam and Eve, superb examples of Klimt s experiments with gold and mosaics, allow close inspection of every detail. Other sumptuous portraits and landscapes display the broad range of Klimt s oeuvre, while his drawings and erotic sketches offer an intimate glimpse into his artistic process and technique. Essays from the world s foremost Klimt scholars shine light on his personal life, his foray into expressionism, and various other influences on his work.
