Gustav Klimt, Drawings and Paintings (Bibliotheca Universalis)

Tobias G. Natter

Gustav Klimt still startles with his unabashed eroticism, dazzling surfaces, and artistic experimentation. This neat, dependable monograph gathers all of Klimt's major works alongside authoritative art historical commentary and privileged material from the artist's own archive to trace the evolution of his astonishing oeuvre. With top-quality illustration, including new photography, this book follows Klimt through his prominent role in the secessionist movement of 1897, when gold leaf brought a shimmering tone and texture to his beloved works.
