Gustav
Klimt was an Austrian symbolist painter and one of the most prominent members
of the Vienna Secession movement. He is
noted for his paintings, murals and sketches. Klimt's primary subject was the
female body, and his works are marked by a frank eroticism.
In
addition to his figurative works, which include allegories and portraits, he
painted landscapes. Among the artists of the Vienna Secession, Klimt was the
most influenced by Japanese art and its methods.
Early
in his artistic career, he was a successful painter of architectural
decorations in a conventional manner. However
as he developed a more personal style, his works were the subject of
controversy. He
subsequently achieved a new success with the paintings of his "golden
phase", many of which include gold leaf. Klimt's
works were an important influence on Egon Schiele.
