Art critic di Stefano (director of the biennial art festival Genius of Palermo) presents a detailed study of the work of Austrian Art Nouveau pioneer Gustav Klimt, accompanied by abundant color reproductions of his works and those representing his influences, legacy, and peers, fellow members of the Vienna Secessionist movement. Text examines the social and political environment in which Klimt painted until his 1918 death and explores themes in his landscapes, friezes, portraits of women, and other works such as many influenced by the Biblical tale of Judith. Significant coverage is given to the women important to the artist's life that appeared in many portraits, particularly Emilie Flöge. Oversize: 10.5x11.25.
