In Vienna at the end of the 19th century, the final years of the Austro-Hungarian Empire witnessed a surge of unprecedented creativity in the fields of painting, music, literature and architecture. Gustav Klimt ranks as one of the foremost figures of this period and in 1897, the Vienna Sezession, the movement of which he was president, brought together a group of artists dedicated to promoting modern art. Klimt's involvement with the Sezession and the scandals provoked by his symbolic paintings shook European intellectual society, for Klimt was a painter to the Viennese upper classes. His portraits of women are among the most sensual representations of the female form in the history of art. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

While there have been a number of books and exhibition catalogs on Klimt, most are in a foreign language or concentrate on specific aspects of his work, such as landscapes or drawings. Frodl's overview is therefore welcome. The multitude of dazzlingly colored plates, each revealing a new aspect of Klimt's smolderingly sensual art, tends to overshadow the text. However, this monograph is a happy synthesis of art historical appraisal, social commentary, and reflection on the life and works of one of Austria's most famous native sons. Translated from the German, Frodl's narrative interweaves the story of Klimt's career with the heady years of the Vienna Secession. The book's ideas and images are almost too rich--the author's multistrand approach can be somewhat confusing. Specialists will feel right at home, but the general reader might prefer the straightforward tone of Alessandra Comini's Gustav Klimt.
