Gustav Klimt

Overview
“I have the gift of neither the spoken nor the written word, especially if I have to say something about myself or my work. Whoever wants to know something about me -as an artist, the only notable thing- ought to look carefully at my pictures and try and see in them what I am and what I want to do.”

The work of Gustav Klimt is set like a psychedelic jewel in the story of Modern art. His sensual portraits are all perfectly calibrated, with each element executed flawlessly. His genius was built upon a firm foundation; from his earliest days as an artist to his death in 1918, he demonstrated an extraordinary facility for draughtsmanship.

 

Known for the highly decorative style and erotic nature of his works, he rose from childhood poverty to become one of the most successful and sought-after artists of his time.
