The son of a goldsmith, Klimt created surfaces of ornate and jewel-like luminosity which show the influence of both Egyptian and Japanese art. Through paintings, murals, and friezes, his work is defined by \u003cstrong\u003eradiant color, fluid lines, floral elements, and mosaic-like patterning\u003c\/strong\u003e. With subjects ranging from sensuality and desire to anxiety and despair, all this iridescence is also suffused with feeling. Klimt's numerous images of women, characterized by \u003cstrong\u003ecurvaceous forms, tender flesh, red lips, and flushed cheeks\u003c\/strong\u003e, were particularly charged with passion, at a time when such frank eroticism was still taboo in Viennese upper-middle-class society. This book presents a selection of Klimt's work, introducing his pictorial world of decoration and desire, as well as his influence on artists to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gilles Néret\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Taschen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7\/15\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.25 lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10.4\" H x 8.5\" L x 0.5\" W\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9783836558075\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Flowerburst","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51099385200944,"sku":"9783836558075","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2712\/8368\/files\/9783836558075_dff436f9-b308-4065-918d-bb63b3d34fac.jpg?v=1776340368","url":"https:\/\/flowerburst.co\/products\/klimt-gilles-neret-hardcover","provider":"Flowerburst","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
