Who was Gustav Klimt?

Gustav Klimt's Water Serpents II print

Who was Gustav Klimt?

Gustav Klimt an Austrian symbolist painter was a leading member of the Vienna Secession movement, which sought to break away from the conservative art scene of late 19th century Vienna. Klimt's work is renowned for its decorative qualities, eroticism, and powerful use of colour and pattern.

 

Gustav Klimt

  

 

Born in 1862 in Vienna, Austria, Klimt studied at the Vienna School of Arts and Crafts. He formed the Vienna Secession in 1897, a group of artists who wanted to challenge the traditional art establishment in Vienna. The Secessionists believed that art should be free from the constraints of the Academy and the State, and they sought to create a new artistic language that was both innovative and relevant to contemporary society.


Klimt's early work was heavily influenced by the Viennese Jugendstil, or Art Nouveau, movement, which emphasized decorative forms and stylized organic motifs. However, Klimt soon developed a distinctive style of his own, characterized by the use of gold leaf and a preoccupation with sexuality and the female form. His paintings often feature sinuous, abstracted figures, adorned with intricate patterns and decorative elements.



 

 One of Klimt's most famous works is "The Kiss," a painting completed in 1908 that depicts a couple embracing, their bodies entwined in a swirl of gold and pattern. The painting is both highly erotic and highly decorative, featuring an elaborate backdrop of ornamental flowers and geometric shapes.


Klimt's work was controversial in its time, and he faced criticism for his emphasis on sexuality and the female nude. However, he continued to produce highly original and influential work throughout his career, and his legacy continues to inspire artists today.
Klimt was not only a painter but also a prolific draftsman and printmaker, producing a large number of drawings and etchings that collectors highly regard.
