Book description

During his lifetime, Gustav Klimt was a controversial star whose works made passions run high. He stood for Modernism but he also embodied tradition. His pictures polarized and divided the art-loving world. The press and general public alike were split over the question: For or against Klimt?

This monograph explores Klimt's oeuvre with particular emphasis upon such contemporary voices. With a complete catalogue of his paintings, including new photographs of the Stoclet Frieze commissioned exclusively for this book, it examines the reactions to Klimt's work throughout his career. Subjects range from Klimt's portrayal of women to his adoption of landscape painting. The theory that Klimt was a man of few words who rarely put pen to paper is also dispelled with the inclusion of 179 letters, cards, writings, and other documents from the artist.Contributing authors: Evelyn Benesch, Marian Bisanz-Prakken, Rainald Franz, Anette Freytag, Christoph Grunenberg, Hansjoerg Krug, Susanna Partsch, Angelina Poetschner, and Michaela Reichel "...one of the most covetable books ever. The reproductions are breathtakingly good, as are the excellent essays and commentaries on paintings." * The Sunday Times Magazine * "...as the arresting imagery in this comprehensive tome attests, Klimt's liberated vision of modern beauty and femininity lives on." * vogue.com * "This book is simply stunning. The works are beautifully reproduced - this monograph is not to be missed." * The Huffington Post * "...a sensory vitamin pill." * Allure Magazine * "...so sumptuous, you won't want to stop looking at it." * Metro * "Guaranteed to work up a fervour." * Harpers Bazaar *
