His primary focus on women has led to the most ethereal portraits and murals ever produced. The text explores Vienna at the turn of the century and Klimt's importance in its society and within the context of the modern art movement. 60 + color illustrations, faithfully reproduced. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
