In his own time, Kilmt (1862-1918) was a highly successful painter, draftsman, muralist, and graphic artist; in the intervening years, iconic works such as The Kiss have been elevated to nothing less than cult status. Klimt's unfading popularity attests to the appeal of not only his aesthetic sensibilities but also that of the recurrent universal themes in his work: love, feminine beauty, aging, and death. He once wrote, "I am a painter who paints day after day from morning to night.Who ever wants to know something about me.ought to look carefully at my pictures." With this overview of Klimt's work, readers will delight in taking up that challenge ; Gilles Néret (1933-2005) was an art historian, journalist, writer and museum correspondent.
