Description
Gustav Klimt (1862-1918) is perhaps the most remarkable artist to have emerged from late 19th-century Vienna, a painter whose controversial, highly personal style was influenced by both symbolism and art nouveau. Now, this volume brings together for the first time the best of Klimt's sketches, along with the finished paintings which they preceded.
