Gustav Klimt - Living Art Series

by Nina Kransel
Gustav Klimt - Living Art Series
Gustav Klimt - Living Art Series

Lavish, erotic artistry from Vienna's golden era.

If you've ever been intrigued by the lush, sensual elegance of Klimt's works, or you feel drawn to the decadence of early 20th-century Vienna, this book will immerize you in his life and the opulent world he depicted. It's a visual feast that captures the zeitgeist of an era as well as the intimate controversies of Klimt's personal and professional life.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Scandal, passion, fame and misfortune--the story of Gustav Klimt's life and career is beautifully illustrated in a book designed to be as exciting as its subject matter. In this arresting volume, the author discusses his paintings' frank eroticism and elaborate decorations against the background of Klimt's sensational life. She introduces readers to turn-of-the-century Vienna, a hotbed of cultural conflict and aesthetic awakening. She shows how his volatile relationship with the Viennese art world, run-ins with the law, and irrepressible sensuality shaped the artist's career. The author also considers Klimt's innovative techniques and novel approach to portraiture as well as his philosophy of painting. Finally, the author reveals how a resurgent interest in Klimt's life is fueling further debate about the roles of eroticism and fashion in the art world of today.
