<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>The clich that Gustav Klimt was a man of few words who rarely put pen to paper is vehemently dispelled: no fewer than 231 letters, cards, writings, and other documents are included in this monograph that serves as a catalog of the artist's complete paintings.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>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? </p><p>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, Hansjörg Krug, Susanna Partsch, Angelina Pötschner, and Michaela Reichel</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>...as the arresting imagery in this comprehensive tome attests, Klimt's liberated vision of modern beauty and femininity lives on.-- "vogue.com"<br><br>...one of the most covetable books ever.
