Gustav Klimt Biography

Austria Famous Artist
1862-1918

the painting of the Austrian painter and illustrator Gustav Klimt, b. July 14, 1862, d. Feb. 6, 1918, founder of the school of painting known as the Vienna Sezession, embodies the high-keyed erotic, psychological, and aesthetic preoccupations of turn-of-the-century Vienna's dazzling intellectual world.

Klimt has been called the preeminent exponent of ART NOUVEAU. He began (1883) as an artist-decorator in association with his brother and Franz Matsoh. In 1886-92, Gustav Klimt executed mural decorations for staircases at the Burgtheater and the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna; these confirmed his eclecticism and broadened his range of historical references. Klimt was a cofounder and the first president of the Vienna Secession, a group of modernist architects and artists who organized their own exhibition society and gave rise to the SECESSION MOVEMENT, or the Viennese version of Art Nouveau. Gustav Klimt was also a frequent contributor to Ver Sacrum, the group's journal.

Among the important decorative projects undertaken by Klimt were his celebrated Beethoven frieze (1902; Osterreichische Galerie), a cycle of mosaic decorations for Josef Hofmann's Palais Stoclet in Brussels (1905-09), and numerous book illustrations. - Gustav oil painting wholesale in museum quality such as The Kiss, Danaë, Judith and the Head of Holofernes, Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I.

Klimt Painting - The Kiss
The Kiss is an oil painting on canvas in the subject of love. The adoption of bright colors and a great quantity of gold foil made it the best representative of Klimt paintings.
Gustav Klimt The Kiss depicts a couple of man and woman who are embracing and kneeling in the garden. Surrounded by the golden light, they look elegant. The colorful rays of light like the peacock spreading his tail sprinkle from the heels of the woman. The man holds the woman in his arms, kissing on her lip passionately. Being intoxicated with the kiss, the woman appears shyness and her expression and gesture seem that she want to stop the man's caress. Klimt The Kiss dealing with love is the master painting of Klimt.

Gustav Klimt Danaë is a princess in Greek mythology. God predicted that her son would kill her father, so the King imprisoned her in a tower. The Lord Zeus transformed into golden rain to date with Danaë, then she gave brith to Perseus. Since Renaissance, many people painted on this subject. The process of Danaë falling in love and pregnant is the key of Klimt painting. A series of symbols are used in the artwork: the red curling hair, huddled nude woman, gauze decorated with figure and yellow dots representing golden rain. Klimt Danaë is collected by a private person in Austria.
