<strong>Defining Decadence</strong><br /> The legacy of Gustav Klimt<br /><br /> A century after his death, Viennese artist <strong>Gustav Klimt</strong> (1862 1918) still startles with his unabashed eroticism, dazzling surfaces, and artistic experimentation. In this neat, dependable monograph, we gather <strong>all of Klimt s major works</strong> alongside authoritative art historical commentary and privileged <strong>archival material from Klimt s own archive</strong> to trace the evolution of his astonishing oeuvre.<br /><br /> With top quality illustration, including new photography of the celebrated Stoclet Frieze, the book follows Klimt through his prominent role in the <strong>Secessionist</strong> movement of 1897, his candid rendering of the female body, and his lustrous golden phase when gold leaf brought a shimmering tone and texture to such beloved works as <em>The Kiss</em> and <em>Portrait of Adele Bloch Bauer I</em>, also known as <em>The Woman in Gold</em>.<br /><br /><
