A very good example of this selection of Klimt’s erotic drawings of women.
Gustav Klimt (1862 – 1918) was a renown Austrian painter and one of the most prominent figures of the Vienna Secession movement, an art movement formed in 1897 by Klimt and other Austrian artists in protest against the Association of Austrian Artist’s support of more traditional artistic styles. Klimt's primary subject was the female body; his works are described as being marked by a “frank eroticism.” Early in his career, Klimt was a successful painter of architectural decorations in a conventional manner. As he began to develop a more personal style, his work was the subject of controversy that culminated when the paintings he completed around 1900 for the ceiling of the Great Hall of the University of Vienna were criticized as pornographic. Thereafter he stopped accepting public commissions, but achieved a new success with the paintings of his "golden phase,” many of which feature use of gold leaf.
, Size: Folio, Pages: P. Half title. Frontispiece. Title. Plate. Preface (pp. 5-21). Blank. Plate section title. Blank. 35 plates. Index (pp. 84-87). Colophon., Category: Book Erotica; Book Modern;
