Gustav Klimt.

Often called the pre-eminent exponent of Art Nouveau, Gustav Klimt began working as an artist/decorator before swapping staircases for the Vienna Secession.

Gustav Klimt was born in Austria in 1862. Despite early academic success and establishment recognition, Klimt was drawn to avant-garde art and was greatly influenced by Impressionism, Symbolism and Art Nouveau.

Official commissions were few and far between, but he was much in demand with private patrons, largely owing to his sought-after depictions of female beauty. His highly embellished, richly decorative patterns (as seen in works such as The Kiss and Judith) give his work the lush sensuality for which he is best remembered.
