Gustav KLIMT by Colin B Bailey
Heavily influenced by Symbolism and Art Nouveau, Gustav Klimt developed a controversial and highly personal style that combines decorative pattern with a mysterious and powerful sexuality. This book, reproducing 40 paintings and 90 works on paper, focuses on him within his Viennese milieu, his place within the Symbolist movement and his international influence.
Colin B. Bailey is chief curator at the Frick Collection in New York City. He has most recently curated the exhibitions on Watteau and His World: French Drawing from 1700 1750 and Van Gogh's Iris: Masterpiece in Focus at the National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa, where he held the position of deputy director and chief curator.
