Gustav Klimt Born in 1862. (1862-1918) A painter representing Austria. Founder and leading member of the Vienna Secession. Influenced by Egyptian art and the Rinpa school, he established his own style of art, using a lot of gold. The main motif is the female body, and his works are characterized by frank eroticism. He was most influenced by Japanese painting and its techniques. In his early days, he was successful as an architectural decorative painter based on classical techniques. He then moved to a personal style, and his erotic style caused various problems. For example, the ceiling decoration of the wall painting of the Great Hall of the University of Vienna, which he created around 1900, was heavily criticized as pornographic. Although he later stopped accepting public commissions, Klimt succeeded in gaining many wealthy patrons. He was very successful with his commissioned portraits of celebrities painted using gold leaf, known as "The Golden Age," and this period was Klimt's golden age. Among the members of the Vienna Secession, Klimt is known to have been most influenced by Japanese painting and its painting techniques. Klimt himself had a great influence on his student, the young artist Egon Schiele. Klimt's "Golden Age" began in 1903. Although he was reluctant to take on public works, he received favorable criticism and financial support from his private patrons, and Klimt entered his golden age. Many of Klimt's paintings from the Golden Age used gold leaf. He had used gold leaf in "Athena" and "Judith" before, but his gold leaf works from his golden age, such as "Portrait of Bauer" and "The Kiss" in 1907, became his masterpieces. His later work "Death and Life" won the Grand Prize at the Rome International Art Exhibition in 1911. It is a representative work of the Golden Age and is also his most famous work. The "Musha" and "Klimt" posters we handle are "mixed media" works that reproduce the colors and textures of the original paintings using high-quality silk screen printing, and are carefully finished with gold and silver foil by artisans. The high quality of his work has been recognized worldwide, and is handled by world-famous museums and galleries such as the Metropolitan, MoMA, the Hermitage, and the Kyoto Museum of Art.
