Gustav Klimt: Drawings and Watercolors
Gustav Klimt: Drawings and Watercolors
By Rainer Metzger
"Delightful … includes some intensely sexy drawings of women that make plain the artist’s desire for them with every caressing line"—Sunday Times
Rainer Metzger, a noted art historian, has brought together hundreds of Klimt's drawings and watercolors in a way that enriches our knowledge of the artist and enhances the visual impact of his oeuvre. Klimt's drawings and studies, and his elegantly direct and dangerously intoxicating preparatory sketches, reveal the underlying impetus for and structure of his elaborate canvases.
