Gustav Klimt: Painter of Women

Part of the Pegasus Series series
See all formats and editions

The enfant terrible of the Viennese art scene, Klimt was notorious for his portraits of beautiful women.

Illustrated with color reproductions, this book profiles the women who figured in the artist's life and on his canvasses.

The author looks beyond the standard assumption that Klimt was a hard-hearted philanderer, pointing instead to his committed and loving relationship with Emilie Floge that prevailed despite the parade of beautiful women who wandered in and out of the artist's studio.

Partsch demonstrates Klimt's role in the evolution of portrait painting, which helped usher in the age of Expressionism.
