Gustav Klimt

Gustav Klimt (1862-1918) was an Austrian painter who played a key role in the Vienna Art Nouveau movement. Art Noveau, also known as Jugendstil (German for "youth style"), was widely popular at the turn of the 20th century. Paintings in this style incorporate flowers, plants and other organic materials along with flowing, curving lines. Klimt's favorite subject was the female body, and much of his art includes erotic symbolism, painted with a distinctive, elegant gold color. In 2006, His 1907 portrait Adele Bloch-Bauer sold for $135 million, and at that time was the highest reported price ever paid for a piece of art sold at auction. Today, favorite Klimt wall prints include The Kiss, Mother and Child, and Beechwood Forest.
