Canvas Gustav Klimt Wall Art

Gustav Klimt (14 July, 1862 – 6 February, 1918) was an Austrian painter, who was part of the symbolism art movement. His works mainly explored the female body, although he also covered other subjects. Klimt had a unique style that adores the decorative features of his subjects, adding his mosaic technique to achieve top quality. His paintings of nude women were defined by sheer eroticism and were thus considered obscene in most cases. However, the same pieces have drawn a lot of attention and respect in modern times. Klimt had both talent and passion for art, inspiring him to join Vienna Public Arts Schools. Even while still in school, he would be commissioned by different individuals to create art. After completing his studies, he joined the commercial art market and worked for different organizations, including churches, museums, and theaters. During that time, he created art for both Kunsthistorisches Museum and Burg Theater. In 1892, he moved to a more spacious studio where he created more work using his unique style. Klimt’s experience in Vienna made him learn the reality that the media and locals didn’t give much room for young artists. This inspired him to start a movement called Secession Movement through which young artists organized for exhibitions that drew thousands from diverse backgrounds. Around the same time, he won Grand Prix award for an art piece he created for the University of Vienna after it was exhibited at the Paris World Fair. Klimt later moved to Rome where his art became more acceptable. He discovered that even his erotic images were accepted in other places outside Vienna, pushing him to explore more of the outside market. One of his most well known pieces is “The Kiss,” which he created in different versions and was sold widely. His original works are displayed by different collections and framed Gustav Klimt art sell to date.
