Interior design was supremely important to Gustav Klimt, and many
of his paintings were created for specific settings or spaces. This
aspect of Klimt’s practice comes beautifully to life in this book
that illustrates how some of the artist’s most beloved canvases
appeared in situ—in private dining rooms and salons, galleries,
museums, and public exhibition spaces. Works such as the portraits
of Emilie Flöge and Hermine Gallia, the shocking Nuda Veritas, and
landscapes A Morning by the Pond and The Tall Poplar I are
presented in double-page spreads. Full-color reproductions of
paintings by Klimt are juxtaposed with blackand- white vintage
photographs of the original interiors with the featured paintings
overlaid in color. Thoughtful and personal texts by Klimt scholar
Tobias Natter accompany each spread, providing invaluable
contextual insight about how these pictures were conceived as part
of the interior design of their respective rooms and spaces, and
the passionate collectors who first owned these pictures.
Meticulously produced and packaged, this book provides a refreshing
perspective on Klimt’s oeuvre and artistic vision.
