Gustav Klimt (July 14, 1862 – February 6, 1918) was an Austrian[=>]
Symbolist painter[=>]
and one of the most prominent members of the Vienna Secession[=>]
movement. His major works include paintings[=>]
, murals[=>]
, sketches[=>]
, and other art objects, many of which are on display in the Vienna Secession gallery. Klimt's primary subject was the female body,[1][=>]
and his works are marked by a frank eroticism—nowhere is this more apparent than in his numerous drawings in pencil (see Mulher sentada, below).[2][=>]
