Description
Filled with swirling patterns in jewel tones and gold, Gustav Klimt’s glamorous
paintings of women epitomize the Austrian Art Nouveau movement known as the
Vienna Secession. One of its cofounders, Klimt produced works of startling power,
symbolism, and eroticism. Portraits of women from Vienna’s social elite would come
to dominate his career, but he also produced daring landscapes and other disarmingly
abstract scenes, culminating in his “Golden Phase,” when he used gold leaf in many of
his paintings. Indulge in a moment of decadence every day with Klimt’s magnificent
works chosen for this calendar.
