{"product_id":"klimt-landscapes","title":"Klimt Landscapes","description":"\u003cb\u003eAs inviting and sensual as a warm summer day, this opulent exhibition catalog offers a deep appreciation of Klimt’s ornate, exquisitely detailed, and atmospheric landscape paintings.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor the last twenty years of his career, Gustav Klimt devoted considerable energy to painting landscapes during his summer vacations—and these bucolic scenes became some of his most sought-after pictures. Filled with vibrant high-quality reproductions and featuring engaging essays by leading scholars in the field, this exhibition catalog situates Klimt’s landscapes alongside fin-de-sie`cle fashion, photography, and decorative arts of the Wiener Werksta¨tte in particular. Klimt’s landscapes are examined within the context of his larger oeuvre and traces the evolution of his style: from one informed by the academic tradition, to his ornate “golden style” decorative approach influenced by the ideal of the Gesamtkunstwerk, and then to a more painterly manner of working in pure color. The book also considers Klimt’s relationship with his muse, fashion designer Emilie Flo¨ge; his deep engagement with the Viennese avant-garde; and the specific techniques he employed to achieve mesmerizing, harmonious works that literally shimmer with light and color.","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57394784108926,"sku":"NW9783791377360","price":34.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9783791377360.jpg?v=1778632856","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/klimt-landscapes","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
