Gustav Klimt’s story
Austrian symbolist painter, known for his murals, sketches, and unique style.
Gustav Klimt (1862–1918) was an Austrian symbolist painter and one of the most prominent members of the Vienna Secession movement. Klimt is noted for his paintings, murals, sketches, and other objets d’art. Klimt’s primary subject was the female body, and his works are marked by a frank eroticism. Among his best-known works is the portrait The Kiss (1907–1908) and the Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I. In addition to his figurative works, which include allegories and portraits, he painted landscapes. Among the artists of the Vienna Secession, Klimt was the most influenced by Japanese art and its methods. His work was characterized by a rejection of earlier naturalistic styles and often included complex symbolism and allegory.
