Cult of pleasure: Feminine sensuality by the Vienna Secession's greatest proponent

Gustav Klimt's ornate, sensual, and decadent style made him not only the most prominent of the Vienna Secessionists but one of the best loved artists of all time. In his own time, Kilmt (1862-1918) was a highly successful painter, draftsman, muralist, and graphic artist; in the intervening years, iconic works such as The Kiss have been elevated to nothing less than cult status. Klimt's unfading popularity attests to the appeal of not only his aesthetic sensibilities but also that of the recurrent universal themes in his work: love, feminine beauty, aging, and death. He once wrote, "I am a painter who paints day after day from morning to night...Who ever wants to know something about me...ought to look carefully at my pictures." With this overview of Klimt's work, readers will delight in taking up that challenge.

The painting "The Kiss" (Der Kuss) shown as the book's cover is my ultimate favorite and Klimt's most popular work. Let me write about the painting first: I think it's a romantic painting and I would never forget the first time I saw it in Jogja, the hotel I was staying held an art exhibition and they were displaying this painting (it was a repro though) and I thought it was so beautiful and romantic and I fell for it. When I got back from my holiday I kept on searching for this painting, I'd

I was first introduced to Gustav Klimt in my teens when I saw the movie Dying Young with Julia Roberts. I liked his work, especially the use of gold in his paintings. When I moved out on my own in college, my mom bought me a large print of The Kiss for my apartment. I still have that print and I'm in my 30s now. I enjoyed the background information on Klimt in this book. I felt like it could have been organized a bit more; I was constantly flipping back and forth to the different paintings

I loved this book and the illustrations in it. I found it informative and very well written. It delved into his work, life , love and inspirations. After reading it I felt that I knew Gustav a lot better. This is a book to read if you want to know about Symbolism and The Sessionist movement. It wo'nt cover everything but shows how the founder came to be.

my favorite painter of all time. "The Kiss" is such a classic- but there is more to this man than that one painting.

Taschen series - always great for artist and movement introductions and basics.

This is a nice book with many, many color reproductions of Klimt's work. It tells you a bit about how Klimt's life and the society he lived in influenced his work. The color reproductions are my favorite part. I think I found this book in a free box.

I love Klimt's works, but I didn't know about him at all. So it was really fun to know about his life and works and I like his works more than I used to now.This book shows a lot of his works and they are parented here and there. When it mentions a painting, it says "(see page22)" or something like that. So you need to go back and forth when you read it. It was a bit annoying. And sadly, some of the drawings are in back-and-white. I wanted to see them in color because I like his use of colors.
