Reviews

Ebook.

Perfectly fine beginners guide to Klimt.
Just a biography intro and paintings through the years.
A good look at style transformation.

I enjoyed learning about this artist. He lived 55 years and like so many artists, his pieces didn’t generate much income for him. They became much more valuable after his death in 1918. My favorites are The Kiss and Baby.
