Gustav Klimt

Art Appreciation

I came across Gustav Klimt from a book my dad had bought me as a present.

Born on July 14, 1862, the Austrian symbolist painter, Gustav Klimt, was considered a leader of the Viennese Art Nouveau movement. Paintings during this movement had decorative designs incorporated in their images.

You can see more of his wonderful work HERE.
