Product Details
Discover the glistening and sensual works of Gustav Klimt, the Austrian symbolist painter who polarized the art world by combining decorative finesse with erotic thrill. From landscape paintings to shimmering renderings of the female body, this founding member of the Vienna Secession movement continues to fascinate with his works of mosaic-like patterns, curvaceous forms, and radiant colour.
Each of the books published in Taschen’s Basic Art series features a detailed chronological summary of the artist’s life and works, their cultural influence and historical significance, a concise biography and approximately 100 illustrations with explanatory captions.
