Gustav Klimt. Tout l'œuvre peint (Bibliotheca Universalis)

by Various

Fall under the spell of Gustav Klimt. A century after his death, Viennese artist Gustav Klimt (1862–1918) still startles with his unabashed eroticism, dazzling surfaces, and artistic experimentation. In this neat, dependable monograph, we gather all of Klimt's paintings alongside authoritative art historical commentary and privileged archival material from Klimt’s own archive to trace the evolution of his astonishing oeuvre. With top-quality illustration, including new photography of the celebrated Stoclet Frieze, the book follows Klimt through his prominent role in the Secessionist movement of 1897, his candid rendering of the female body, and his lustrous “golden phase” when gold leaf brought a shimmering tone and texture to such beloved works as The Kiss and Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I, also known as The Woman in Gold. About the series Bibliotheca Universalis — Compact cultural companions celebrating the eclectic TASCHEN universe! Laissez-vous charmer par Gustav Klimt. Près d’un siècle après sa mort, l’artiste viennois Gustav Klimt (1862–1918) éblouit toujours par son érotisme décomplexé, ses surfaces éblouissantes et sa créativité expérimentale. Cette monographie rigoureuse et claire rassemble tout l'œuvre peint de Klimt et des commentaires de sommités de l’histoire de l’art, ainsi que de rares documents issus des archives personnelles de Klimt pour retracer l’évolution de son œuvre captivante. Grâce à des illustrations de la plus haute qualité, notamment de nouvelles photographies de la célèbre frise du palais Stoclet, le livre raconte Klimt, figure majeure de la Sécession en 1897, ses représentations sans fard du corps féminin et sa lumineuse «période dorée», au cours de laquelle les feuilles d’or vinrent apporter une texture et une tonalité chatoyantes à des œuvres aussi populaires que Le Baiser et le Portrait d’Adele Bloch Bauer I, surnommé le portrait de «la Dame en or». À propos de la collection Bibliotheca la compilation culturelle indispensable qui rend hommage à l’éclectisme de l’univers TASCHEN !
