content
Passionate, mysterious, breathtaking, contradicting: not only the works of Gustav Klimt fascinate, but also the life of the most famous Austrian painter. Born in a Vienna full of opposites of bitter poverty and excessive wealth, Klimt embodied the vibrant attitude to life of an entire epoch. He shaped the Viennese Art Nouveau, was a pioneer of modernity and lived the extremes: from strokes of fate and deepest despair to the highest triumph. Torn between countless erotic amours and the deep love of life for his muse Emilie Flöge. He was seducer and seduced, demonized as much as adored. A family man who shied away from any bond and led a lifelong, furious struggle for artistic and personal freedom.
