Gustav Klimt(1862-1918)Was the principal Austrian Jugendstil (Art Nouveau) painter, and one of the
founders of the ViennaSezession (1898), although he resigned in 1903. He was
essentially a decorator and, from 1883 to 1892, he shared a studio for
decorative painting with his brother and another artist: they worked in the
Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna, in 1891. From 1898, after a barren period of
about six years, he was influenced by Japanese art and by contemporary English
painters like Burne-Jones and Alma-Tadema. A more realist style characterized
his ceilings for Vienna University (1900-1903), which were very unpopular.
Gustav Klimt was perhaps most successful as a designer for the applied arts
(e.g. mosaic), but he was also a great influence on Egon Schiele and Oskar
Kokoschka.
