Gustav Klimt

Gustav Klimt, a central figure of the Vienna Secession and one of the defining artists of Austrian modernism, is best known for ornamental oil paintings but equally prolific as a draughtsman. His drawings concentrate on the human figure, especially women, rendered with sensitive, flowing line. This collection gathers twelve sheets spanning the years 1899 to 1918, with impressions up to that later date, and is dominated by graphite studies alongside a few oils on canvas, colored pencil work, and further graphite sheets.
