Matsch), for numerous theatres and above all (on his own this time) for the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, where he completed, in a coolly photographic style, the work begun by Makart.

Klimt had finally decided that his integrity as an artist was under threat.
The portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer reflects some of the many contradictions that can be found both in Klimt's life, and in its context: the portrait depicted her not as she was, but how her husband, who commissioned the painting, desired her to be seen by others.
Part of this faade involved patronage of the arts, which fuelled a period of intense activity in painting, sculpture and architecture.

Klimt is one of those artists I find hard to look at objectively, what with the intense over-saturation of his images in popular culture (posters, mugs, t-shirts, day-timers, underwear...).
I heard that some unfinished paintings were found and they showed that Klimt painted his portraits nude first, then painted clothes on top of the nude portrait.
Schiele was a child rapist, Klimt always painted his women nude and finished his paintings by putting clothing on them.

 WebMuseum: Klimt, Gustav: The Kiss
Just as Munch can be associated with both Symbolism and Expressionism, so the art of the Austrian painter, Gustav Klimt (1862-1918), is a curious and elegant synthesis of Symbolism and Art Nouveau.
The Austrians responded enthusiastically to the decorative artifice of Art Nouveau, and Klimt is almost artifice incarnate.
He painted large ornamental friezes of allegorical scenes, and produced fashionable portraits, uniting the stylized shapes and unnatural colors of Symbolism with his own essentially harmonious concept of beauty.

Klimt's 1895 painting "Love" conveys a sense of valediction, and in 1890 Munch created a drawing which he himself entitled "Adjo (Farewell).
A number of drawings and oil sketch finalley led in 1892 to Munch's oil painting "The Kiss." It is still, in some respects, a genre scene, executed in soft and relaxed brushwork.
Even in such a work, there are elements that foreshadow Munch's progress from stylism to expressionism, in which the human individual becomes the central theme of creative work.

Nonostante la ricchezza e la fama, Klimt viveva modestamente.
Klimt preferiva le modelle che posavano per lui; infatti non volle mai sposarsi, anche se dopo la sua morte quattordici persone dichiararono di essere figli suoi (quattro furono riconosciuti come tali ed ebbero una parte della sua eredità).
