Art and Design

This luxury book is a collection of 200 works by Gustav Klimt (1862-1918), a master of Symbolist art. This book focuses not only on Klimt’s life and works but the women and artists who had influenced and inspired him. This book explores the culture of 19th-century Vienna, examining its art, literature, the Japonisme movement, popular trends like cafés and cabarets, and more, in order to capture the atmosphere of fin-de-siècle Vienna in which these artists lived and worked.
