Art Nouveau painter Gustav Klimt first found fame for decorative work before turning to portraiture and erotic art, later creating abstract compositions with glowing surfaces embellished with gold and silver leaf. The illustrated hardback pairs a selection of his paintings with biographical detail.

This beautifully illustrated hardback is a guide to the life and work of Gustav Klimt, featuring a spectacular selection of his artwork throughout.

Klimt is one of the most influential artists of the Art Nouveau movement, first achieving fame as a decorative painter before turning to portraiture and erotic art. The decorative style persisted in his work, leading to abstract compositions with flattened, glowing surfaces embellished with gold and silver leaf. This technique is perhaps best identified in Klimt's two portraits of Adele Bloch Bauer.

The book serves as a perfect introduction to Klimt's work, showcasing a selection of his paintings as well as providing fascinating biographical detail.
