Introduction -- Life -- Works.

"Gustav Klimt was a major influence on Viennese Art Nouveau. He developed a Modernist notion of the relation between image and reality. His ornamental works--such as 'The kiss' or 'Cottage garden with sunflowers'--have inscribed themselves into our collective visual memory. Until today, Klimt still enjoys international fame. Presentations of his paintings and drawings attract and delight audiences the world over."--
