Klimt

by Maria Costantino

Gustav Klimt's unique style combines sensuality, realism, and spirituality to make his work recognizable and among the most popular in the history of art. His primary focus on women has led to the most ethereal portraits and murals ever produced. The text explores Vienna at the turn of the century and Klimt's importance in its society and within the context of the modern art movement. 60 + color illustrations, faithfully reproduced.

[Courtney · Rating 4 out of 5]

Picked this up because I wanted to see what else he did besides ‘The Kiss’.

I really enjoyed his portraiture, especially The Portrait of Serena Lederer and Portrait of Sonja Knips. I also liked some of his landscapes.

‘Death and Life’ is also a wonderful piece.
