Gustav Klimt (1862 – 1918) was a brilliant Austrian iconoclast who rose from childhood impoverishment to become an artist who enormously impacted the Viennese Secession and Art Nouveau movement. Known for elaborate, explicitly sensual paintings and murals, Klimt’s works also encompass themes of regeneration, love and death. Embedding his work with images symbolizing the freedom of art from traditional Western culture, Klimt’s eclectic range of influences included Egyptian, Classical Greek, Byzantine and Medieval styles. A forerunner of Modernism and the Art Deco movements, Klimt’s huge creative influence still resonates in modern art, decorations and jewelry.
Cash on Pick Up from Rowville 3178 or Preston 3072 preferred as this is a rather large picture. Please arrange pick up within 5 days from end of auction please. This picture will fit in the backseat/ boot of most cars.
Interstate buyers can arrange own pick-up via courier at their expense. I know this is too wide & fragile for Australia Post to send.
