Gustav Klimt 

Gustav Klimt (Austrian, 1862-1918) is best known for his opulently gilded art nouveau portraits of women that epitomize fin-de-siecle Vienna. His Symbolist pastiches of pale nudes, allegorical gardens and erotic content served as the basis for many American psychedelic poster designs in the 1960s. At the onset of his career, Klimt was supported generously by the Viennese community and received several commissions for murals in theaters and the Museum Kunsthistorisches.

Gustav Klimt’s narrative paintings depicted heavy subjects such as anxiety, doubt, sexuality, and death.  However, in later years, he turned toward landscape painting, exploring light and abstract patterns of nature.

Notable works are: Judith and the Head of Holofernes is an oil painting (1901); The Kiss (1907); and Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer (1907), which sold for a record auction price of more than 100 million dollars in 2006.
