«Klimt's Women» is the art essay by Gustav Klimt, Tobias G. Natter and Gerbert Frodl, published by Dumont Buchverlag, in hardcover (256 pages, in English).
The book examines how Gustav Klimt treated the female figure in historical paintings, portraits, allegories and erotic drawings, and links this evolution with the social changes of Vienna around 1900, the new position of women, the affluent bourgeoisie, the myth of the Gesamtkunstwerk and the work of contemporaries such as Schiele, Kokoschka and Munch.
Catalogue of the exhibition «Klimt und die Frauen» held at the Österreichische Galerie Belvedere in Vienna in 2000. Includes 220 black-and-white illustrations and 133 in color.
Aimed at university students and readers interested in Klimt, Viennese modernism and art history.
Gustav Klimt was an Austrian symbolist painter and a founding member of the Vienna Secession movement. His work helped define the Art Nouveau style in Europe. Klimt is known for his paintings, murals, sketches, and other objets d'art. Klimt's primary subject was the female body, and his works are marked by a frank eroticism. Amongst his figurative works, which include allegories and portraits, he painted landscapes. He is best known for The Kiss and Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I. Among the artists of the Vienna Secession, Klimt was the most influenced by Japanese art and its methods.
