Gustav Klimt Inspired ~ AssignmentWho was Gustav Klimt?
Klimt was the leader of the Vienna Secession movement and was a master of symbolism. In the time of Klimt, the Austrian city of Vienna was intensely bohemian full of artistic experimentation that railed against the Victorian repression. Figurative studies were a favorite subject as well as his use of symbols of the life cycle, flowers and ever changing seasons. His artwork depictions of women became increasingly expressive of their personalities, emotions and desires |
