"Richly illustrated." -- Library Journal

Product Description

Viennese artist Gustav Klimt expressed his dedication to the theme of "woman" throughout his life--in his early historical paintings, in allegorical depictions and erotic drawings, and in classic large female portraits. This gorgeously illustrated book offers for the first time a survey of Klimt's approach to the female form and sets his work in the context of fundamental social changes at the turn of the century. Distributed for Dumont, Cologne

4.0 out of 5 stars Ahhhh the designs-- the portraits!, June 18, 2009

By	Constance Vlahoulis "Conn-Artist" (Hendersonville, NC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I first found this book in a hotel library and thought about "borrowing" it! This artist's work is iconic and so far ahead of his time.
I had to have it for myself and am so glad to own a copy via AMAZON.
The stories about Klimt's women in his life helped shape him as an artist and allows us to understand him more.
A beautiful glossy coffee table book that has substance.
