Klimt, Gustav
Born July 14, 1862, in Vienna; died there Feb. 6, 1918. Austrian painter. Klimt studied at the School of Arts and Crafts in Vienna from 1875 to 1883. A founder of the Vienna Sezession (1897), he served as its president until 1905. In the style of art nouveau, Klimt painted symbolist compositions, portraits, and landscapes. He subordinated flat images to a refined decorative rhythm and to a fractured pattern of small patches of color (panel for the Vienna Burgtheater, 1888; Portrait of A. Bloch-Bauer, 1907, Austrian Gallery of the 19th and 20th Centuries, Vienna). REFERENCEPirchan, E. Gustav Klimt. Vienna [1956].Want to thank TFD for its existence?
