Gustav Klimt is the one artist whose name we associate in particular with Viennese Jugendstil and the Golden Age. As a sought-after painter of frescoes and the founding president of the Vienna Secession, the portraitist of fashionable ladies and an illustrator of unashamed eroticism, Klimt was both the enfant terrible and the darling of Viennese society. The new volume in the Masters of Art series shows that Gustav Klimts complex oeuvre extends beyond his popular paintings: beginning with Klimts early works, whose formal language was still based on the tradition of Historicism, the author discusses Klimts Faculty pictures which were produced during a time when his style was changing, so that even their preliminary sketches caused a scandal. Klimt is described as a symbolic figure and a progressive artist of the Vienna Secession. Last but not least, he is shown as a magnificent illustrator and landscape painter.
