Klimt. Moderni kuld

Gold, ornaments, and the nude – the paintings of Gustav Klimt can evoke delight or astonishment, but you certainly wouldn’t confuse them with any others. Today modestly hanging in museums, they were created amidst the fervor of battles the artist... fought against social norms and art critics. Passionate, scandalous, and possessing an almost photographic ability to transfer what he saw to canvas, Gustav Klimt combined in his works the monumental severity of historical painting with the sensual images of symbolism. But what inspired one of the main artists of modernism? How were the works born that still astonish our imagination? Drawn with deep respect for Klimt's creative genius, this graphic novel is a historical reconstruction of Gustav Klimt's life from 1901 to 1907, from the scandal of the "Faculty Paintings" to the creation of "Judith with the Head of Holofernes" and "Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer." Look at the world through the eyes of the great artist!
