*** About Gustav Klimt: Gustav Klimt (1862–1918) was an Austrian symbolist painter, whose primary subject was the female body, and his works are marked by a frank eroticism. He is best known for his paintings, murals, sketches, and other objets d'art. Klimt's works, characterized by their elaborate, golden detailing and intricate textures, also include landscapes amid his more familiar figures. Klimt was a central figure in Vienna's cultural scene at the turn of the 20th century, and his work remains influential in the art world today, evidenced by adaptations like this artistic rendering of the Illinois River.
