Gustav Klimt: Drawings & Watercolors
by Gustav Klimt, Rainer Metzger
The best of Klimt's drawings and watercolors, beautifully reproduced in full color.
There is no doubt about Gustav Klimt's greatness as a draftsman. Remarkable above all is the intensely sensual mood that he establishes in his limpid, fluid drawings and watercolors: the pencil or crayon line with which his subjects are described explores and caresses as though the act of drawing was itself a seduction. Klimt's drawings are often highly erotic and explicit, many to such an extent that they have rarely been reproduced. This has made for an unbalanced representation of his work as a draftsman, and a comprehensive survey of his graphic output is long overdue.
Rainer Metzger, a noted art historian, has brought together hundreds of Klimt's drawings and watercolors in a way that enriches our knowledge of the artist and enhances the visual impact of his oeuvre. Klimt's drawings and studies, and his elegantly direct and dangerously intoxicating preparatory sketches, reveal the underlying impetus for and structure of his elaborate canvases. 307 color illustrations.

Gustav Klimt 2019 Wall Calendar
by Gustav Klimt
Around the turn of the twentieth century, the grand city of Vienna seethed with radical ideas. Three Austrians in particular—Sigmund Freud, Arnold Schoenberg, and Gustav Klimt—alarmed the bourgeoisie with their brash and, in the case of Freud and Klimt, frankly erotic preoccupations.
Klimt (1862–1918), the son of an engraver, devoted much of his career to painting exquisite, languorous women. After an early period during which he created some portraits of men, Klimt never again made a man the center of one of his paintings. Instead, he explored the decorative potential of painting—perhaps even transforming—women in plays of color and pattern, juxtaposing their pink-and-white skin with flowers, feather boas, or the sinuous lines of a snake worked in gold leaf.
The images in this calendar, including two atmospheric landscapes, trace Klimt’s growth from adept painter to confident master.

Gustav Klimt 2020 Wall Calendar
by Gustav Klimt
Gustav Klimt (Austrian, 1862–1918) has been characterized as a radical agent of change who defied artistic convention. A leading member of the Austrian Art Nouveau movement known as the Vienna Secession, he produced works of startling power, symbolism, and eroticism. His large-scale public works were not widely popular, yet he never lacked for respect, awards, and commissions. Portraits of women from Vienna’s social elite would come to dominate his career, but Klimt also produced daring landscapes. Departures from the traditional, these semiabstract scenes reflect the influences of Van Gogh and
Japonisme, albeit in his undeniably unique style.
