Turn-of-the-century Vienna glistened in the last, heady days of the Habsburg Empire. The Jugenstil and Successionist movements in art and design remade the capital in the light of a new, modern visual era. Of all the contributors to this new age, Gustav Klimt's bold, sinuous and gilded images best capture the spirit of pre-World War I Vienna. This superb volume in the acclaimed "World of Art" series is fully illustrated with 159 photos and drawings along with 29 large, full-color plates of Klimt's major works: paintings, interior design and graphic art. It's the definitive companion to any study of Klimt's life and work -- and an excellent introduction to the visual history of early 20th-century Vienna.
