Essential Klimt

Résumé du livre

Gustav Klimt was one of the most influential figures in the Viennese Secession. He was the first president of the movement, which he helped to form in 1897 to break away from the contemporary artistic traditions. This volume is full of beautiful images and defines his love of line, texture and form. The text by Laura Payne gives a close look into the soul of the artist, discusses his works, their progression and meanings.
