An Apostle of the beauty of the feminine form, Klimt displays in his work the profound creativity and anxiety brought on by the end of one century and the beginning of another. Special care has been taken with the colour illustration to reproduce the artist's uniquely sumptuous palette. The sequence is organized in roughly (though not strictly) chronological order, following the evolution of Klimt's style over the course of his thirty-year career.
Gustav Klimt (1862 1918) was an Austrian symbolist painter and a founding member of the Vienna Secession movement. His work helped define the Art Nouveau style in Europe. Klimt is known for his paintings, murals, sketches, and other objets d'art. Klimt's primary subject was the female body, and his works are marked by a frank eroticism. Amongst his figurative works, which include allegories and portraits, he painted landscapes. He is best known for The Kiss and Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I. Among the artists of the Vienna Secession, Klimt was the most influenced by Japanese art and its methods.
