GUSTAV
KLIMT
(1862 - 1918)
Gustav Klimt didn't start
painting until age thirty. Before that, he along with his brother and
a friend did decoration for several theatres. Five years later, he was
one of the founders of the
Vienna Secession, but then eight years later he quit, dismayed over the trend
toward
naturalism. His work's sensual tone drew violent criticism. Now
and then his work was
displayed behind a screen to protect young people. Klimt covered a wide
range of subjects
such as sleep, hope and death to name a few. Klimt's figures were strongly
influenced by the Byzantine art period.
