Gustav Klimt: Painter of Women

In Vienna, at the end of the 19th century there was a surge of unprecedented artistic and intellectual creativity. Gustav Klimt was one of the foremost figures in the period, and his work has come to epitomise its style. This book has 96 color plates and 35 drawings in black-and-white, and pays tribute to the Austrian painter who died in 1918, when all Vienna mourned his death.
