Gustav Klimt- Understanding Modern Art

Today we're taking a look at Gustav Klimt, famed Austrian modernist painter with a love for gold and a penchant for the female form. A child of Vienna during a time of great change as the city entered the modern era, Klimt's works trace a path from the traditional to the modernist. We explore his early paintings and public commissions, involvement in the Vienna Secession, the longstanding debacle known as the university affair, his later well known golden period and the ever complex issue of his representations of female sexuality.
