• Gustav Klimt's ornate art expresses the apocalyptic atmosphere of Vienna's upper middle-class society around the turn of the 20th century a society devoted to the cultivation of aesthetic awareness and the cult of pleasure.
• The ecstatic joy which Klimt (1862-1918) and his contemporaries found or hoped to find in beauty was constantly overshadowed by death.
• And death therefore plays an important role in Klimt's art.
• Klimt's fame, however, rests on his reputation as one of the greatest erotic painters and graphic artists of his times.
• His drawings in particular, which have been widely admired for their artistic excellence, are dominated by the sensual portrayal of women.
