The joy which Klimt (1862-1918) and his contemporaries found--or hoped to find--in beauty was constantly overshadowed by death. And death therefore plays an important role in Klimt's art. Klimt's fame, however, rests on his reputation as one of the greatest erotic painters and graphic artists of his times. His drawings in particular, which have been widely admired for their artistic excellence, are dominated by the sensual portrayal of women. 600 10 $a Klimt, Gustav, $d 1862-1918 $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 10 $a Klimt, Gustav, $d 1862-1918 $x Themes, motives. 600 17 $a Klimt, Gustav, $d 1862-1918. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00033628 600 14 $a Klimt, Gustav, $d 1862-1918 $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 14 $a Klimt, Gustav, $d 1862-1918 $x Themes, motives. 650 0 $a Women in art. 650 7 $a Themes, motives. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01355139 650 7 $a Women in art. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01177826 650 4 $a Women in art. 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 700 1 $a Scott-Stokes, Charity, $e translator. 830 0 $a Basic art series 2.0. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20190212025040.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F47F476CE96D11E8978F920F97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
