The countless events being held to celebrate the 150th anniversary
of his birth make a clear statement to the enduring appreciation
for the work of Gustav Klimt. Not that it takes such a special
occasion for the press and the public to start talking about Klimt.
More than two hundred articles about the artist appeared online in
August 2011 alone, in comparison with barely seventy on Rembrandt
within the same period. This media publicity set editor Tobias G.
Natter thinking about the value of compiling the present book.
During his lifetime, Klimt was a controversial star whose works
made passions run high; he stood for Modernism but he also embodied
tradition. His pictures polarized and divided the art-loving world.
Journalists and general public alike were split over the question:
For or against Klimt? The present publication therefore places
particular emphasis upon the voices of Klimt's contemporaries via a
series of essays examining reactions to his work throughout his
career. Subjects range from Klimt's portrayal of women to his
adoption of landscape painting in the second half of his life. The
cliche that Gustav Klimt was a man of few words who rarely put pen
to paper is vehemently dispelled: no less than 179 letters, cards,
writings and other documents are included in this monograph. This
wealth of archival material, assembled here for the first time on
such a scale, represents a major contribution to Klimt scholarship.
Defining features of this edition: Catalog of Klimt's complete
paintings All known letter correspondence Featuring new photographs
of the Stoclet Frieze commissioned exclusively for this book
