Description

Klimt by the Van Gogh Museum and the Österreichische Galerie Belvedere delves into the life and work of Gustav Klimt (1862-1918), a luminary of Viennese Art Nouveau. Renowned for his two-dimensional, ornamental masterpieces, Klimt's influence on art and his status as a global icon are explored extensively in this volume.

This book offers a deep insight into the artistic influences that shaped the oeuvre of this Modernist artist. Vienna in 1900 was a vibrant hub of artistic innovation, with the Vienna Secession, galleries, private collectors, and art magazines introducing the European avant-garde into Klimt's milieu.

Klimt was particularly receptive to the pictorial language of his contemporaries, drawing inspiration from celebrated artists such as Alma-Tadema, Minne, Rodin, Toorop, Hodler, Van Gogh, Monet, Khnopff, Toulouse-Lautrec, Whistler, Matisse, and many others. This publication showcases his work alongside those of artists who influenced him, through large-format illustrations that reveal significant and often surprising connections.
