Velikani likovne umjetnosti #11: Gustav Klimt (1862.-1918.)
Each book in Taschen's Basic Art series contains a detailed chronological summary of the artist's life and work, covering the artist's cultural and historical significance, approximately 100 color illustrations with explanations, and a brief biography.
Gilles Néret's book "Gustav Klimt" explores the life and work of one of the most important representatives of the Viennese Art Nouveau. Néret deeply analyzes Klimt's unique aesthetic, marked by lavish ornamentation, eroticism, and symbolism. Through famous works such as The Kiss and Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I, the author reveals the artist's penchant for golden tones, rich textures, and sophisticated patterns that reflect the spirit of Viennese modernism. The book also highlights Klimt's connection to Vienna's intellectual circles and his role in the creation of the Sezession art society. Néret also examines the controversies that accompanied Klimt's career, particularly for his provocative depictions of female sensuality and symbolic depictions of the physical. This richly illustrated and expertly written monograph provides a deep insight into the artist's passion and his transformative vision of beauty and eroticism.
