Klimt has to be one of my favourite artists. I have always loved his famous painting (The Kiss) with its detail, embrace and goldwork. His femme fatales, landscapes, murals and drawings are out of this world - and we are given some wonderful literature and imagery throughout each of the sections (and other sections). I loved how Klimt juxtaposed realism with abstract and patterned themes. His repetitive patterns really appeal to my eye. I didn't know that he'd painted fabrics and actually designed clothes - I always saw his work as having this quality - but only realised the fashion link in this book! A truly beautiful read, that has made me want to delve more into Klimt's stunning work.

A good overview of Klimt's life but I was hoping for more actual artwork to be included.
