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.

Stunning!,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Gustav Klimt: Art Nouveau Visionary (Paperback)
This is really a stunning book, especially for $16!! How can they do that? Measuring 10 x 11 in. it is plenty big and the color reproductions are as good as any I have seen. Many of the color reproductions utilize the full page, something many other art book producers would do well to emulate. At four times this price I would give this book my very best recommendation. If you are looking for a book on Klimt, buy this one. You will be very satisfied at the level of quality you are getting!

Incredible. Worth every penny. Better than some books that cost three to four times as much. The reproductions are wonderful, and it covers every area of Klimt's diverse collection of works.
