Gustav Klimt: Art Nouveau Visionary Details
Gustav Klimt’s decorative, seductive style, jewel-like colors, use of gold and pattern, and sensuous line, continue to captivate art lovers today. One of the masters of modern European painting, he helped found the popular Viennese Secession, or Art Nouveau, movement. This lushly illustrated volume explores his fascinating artistic career, covering Vienna at the time of Klimt’s creative peak. With more than 300 beautifully reproduced pictures, paintings, and photographs, it presents Klimt’s entire artistic production: posters for exhibitions, erotic drawings, and pictorial masterpieces such as The Kiss, Death and Life, and Tree of Life, along with countless portraits such as the famous Adele Bloch-Bauer I.
Reviews
This book is amazing. The book is large and the pictures are beautiful, with some duplicated and parts enlarged so you can see the detail that Klimpt envisioned. It is not very expensive and worth every penny. You would normally think a book like this would go for fifty dollars or more, so for the price and pictures of his works it's a steal. Happy I purchased it.
