A century after his death, the Viennese artist Gustav Klimt (1862-1918) continues to astonish with his liberated erotic expression, vibrant surfaces, and artistic experimentation. In this compact and reliable monograph, all of Klimt's major works are gathered along with authentic historical commentary and privileged archival material from Klimt's own archive, to trace the evolution of his remarkable work. With high-quality illustrations, including new photography of the famous Stoclet Frieze, the book follows Klimt through his prominent role in the Secessionist movement in 1897, his candid depiction of the female body, and his brilliant "golden phase," when gold leaf offered a radiant sense and texture to beloved works such as The Kiss and Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I, also known as The Woman in Gold.
