Publisher's Synopsis
Here is a collection of 46 paintings and drawings by the Austrian artist Gustav Klimt. This is a sampling of his best work.
Known as a symbolist, Klimt enjoyed painting women with an erotic tinge and playing with color. He had a style, though similar to that of Art Nouveau, that was uniquely his own. He won many artistic awards for artwork that still pleases us today.
In this book, you will find colorful landscapes, some seemingly impressionistic and some almost abstract. There is also collection of portraits where striking portrayals of people are presented. Examples include "The Kiss" and the "Portrait of Adele Bloch Bauer," painted during Klimt's "Gold Period." And finally, you will discover a series of nude subjects to delight the eye and imagination.
So welcome to the amazing works of the master artist, Gustav Klimt!
