Gustav Klimt

Published 26 June 2002
While Klimt is largely revered for his opulent, symbol-laden portraits of the Viennese bourgeoisie, these works were just one aspect of his artistic expression. Klimt's landscapes also represent an important facet of his career. Accompanied by essays from scholars, the images reproduced in this book comprise all extant landscapes by Klimt. These paintings demonstrate a little-known aspect of the painter's oeuvre and reveal themes that appeared throughout his life's work.
