«Klimt» is the biography of Gustav Klimt written by Frank Whitford, published by Destino Ediciones in paperback (215 pages, in Spanish).
The book traces the life and career of Gustav Klimt and analyzes how his work moved between tradition and modernity, with portraits of subtle sensuality, richly ornamented landscapes and allegorical compositions bordering on abstraction. It also addresses the context of Vienna at the end of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, where Klimt became leader of the modernists after losing public commissions, and his role as a portraitist. It includes 159 illustrations, 29 in color.
The title belongs to the World of Art collection and the Spanish translation is by Hugo Mariani.
