Gustav Klimt – författare

Gustav Klimt’s Beethoven Frieze (1902) is the supreme monument of Viennese Modernism—a work as significant and revolutionary as Picasso’s Demoiselles, Matisse’s Dance, and Duchamps’s Readymades. Is it is among the most visited tourist destinations in Vienna. In his largest and most ambitious work, Klimt launched his famous motif of the Kiss and his signature color: gold. Four interdisciplinary essays by renowned scholars explore the enduring relevance and cultural-historical context of Klimt’s large-scale wall cycle, as well as its conservation and history. This new publication will be the definitive book on Klimt’s Beethoven Frieze.
