Gustav Klimt was one of the very well known artist as well as controversial artist of Austria.He once said "I know only one thing for certain.. That I am a poor fool". However this is far from the truth. He died on this day i.e 6th February in the year 1918. He earned his fame for his most notorious and bohemian figures from fin-de-siA cle Viennaathe great age of Austrian painting beautiful as well as scandalously erotic art works that are now considered masterpieces.
He was born on 14th July 1862 in the Vinnese suburb of Baumgartenm second of seven siblings. At a young age he went to the city and joined other artist on the sumptuous interior decorations of Ringstrasse Buildings, And in 1888 he received Golden order of Merit from Emperor Franz Josef I for his contributions to the Burgtheaer in Vienna,.
However as the time passed he developed his own skills and did furnish his own language of fine art and figurative painting.. He was also seen finishing ceiling painting of great Hall of the University of Vienna:
Once completed their sensual depiction of undressed female forms prompted an outcry and they were not allowed to be displayed in the Great Wall after all. He was accused of turning traditional allegory and symbolism to "Pornography"..XD saala..:D..
According to him, His paintings showed or reflected who he was.. Well to sum up as you can see the image his art was outstanding surely not of that age or culture but still the best and the finest.. :)
