Gustav Klimt was an important Austrian painter of symbolism and is one of the most outstanding personalities of the Vienna Secession . His works include paintings, wall paintings and sketches, including both portraits and landscape representations. At the beginning of the 20th century, Klimt experienced what many call his "golden phase" .
This period is characterized by his predilection for metallic hues and his critical success at the time, particularly with works such as the Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I (1907) and The Kiss (1907–1908). His stays in Venice and Ravenna, renowned for their breathtaking mosaics, likely influenced his goldwork technique as well as his Byzantine-inspired visual language.
Did she hit the climate fever?
This is practically unavoidable, especially lately when "Klimt-gold" sparkles on every corner and in every publication.

But maybe they have read some of these articles, and maybe they have already become aware that Gustav Klimt has done a little more than painting pictures in which, in addition to pleasing forms, a few gold stubs are also distributed across the screen.
For Klimt was truly an admirable painter and, moreover, an innovator in an environment hostile to innovation. It would be entirely unfair to him and a loss for every art lover to Gustav Klimt to the works currently being marketed in a veritable frenzy.
Klimt has had a wealth of ideas and created works that show expressionist hints as well as wonderful sparks of surrealism, and his handling of colors is also remarkable without gold. If you are happy to paint yourself or like to design accessories in your apartment in the style of a certain painter, you could get the idea of bringing a little climate into your apartment.
But please: do not freeze in admiration for the few pictures that can currently be seen everywhere from Klimt, but are actively involved in the much more comprehensive work of this interesting artist.
