The PostImpressionists Klimt (2000)

Gustav Klimt was an unlikely artistic rebel but in early 20th century Vienna the work of this mildmannered painter created a scandal in his home city Having enjoyed a conventionally successful early career Klimts art changed radically in his midthirties He became leader of the Vienna Secession a group of avantgarde artists who would change the conservative Viennese art scene forever Klimt¹s own work became increasingly erotic in nature His deeply sensual portraits of Viennese women still make a powerful impression upon the modern viewer
