GUSTAV KLIMT COMPLETE WORKS WITH FOLDOUTS Taschen XXL 17 lb BRAND NEW IN STOCK

  
GUSTAV KLIMT: THE COMPLETE PAINTINGS. ABOUT TO GO OUT OF PRINT! DELUXE HUGE FORMAT HARDCOVER w/ FOLDOUTS Another GREAT Taschen Title!

These are brand new, direct FROM Taschen and packaged as they came from them! During his lifetime, Gustav 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. The press and general public alike were split over the question: For or against Klimt? This monograph explores Klimt's oeuvre with particular emphasis upon such contemporary voices. With a complete catalog of his paintings, including new photographs of the Stoclet Frieze commissioned exclusively for this book, it examines the reactions to Klimt's work throughout his career.

Subjects range from Klimts portrayal of women to his adoption of landscape painting. The theory that Klimt was a man of few words who rarely put pen to paper is also dispelled with the inclusion of 179 letters, cards, writings, and other documents from the artist. Each unfolding page with its strokeable surface of intense paintwork and its meld of Byzantine imagery and Venetian mosaics brings to life the exotic eroticism of this exceptional artist.

An incredibly beautiful, and VERY thorough book dedicated to showcasing this incredible talent, Taschen has produced an epic volume that exhaustively details Klimt's works. Many fold out & fold up pages make this a must have volume for any true artlover! Measures roughly 16x12in and contains 676 pages, it weighs a whopping 17 pounds!!! I dare anyone to leave it on a coffee table and have someone NOT comment on it! FOR MORE ILLUSTRATED and ART books I have listed which is usually a lot!
