Gustav Klimt: A pioneer of artistic vision in Vienna – Prague Blog

The movement did not have a specific style, but Klimt’s productions were totally different than his earlier, academic ones. He manipulated space so that it was flattened onto a single plane in two dimensions and used gold ornamentation, inspired by Japanese art, early Egyptian imagery, Byzantine art and works from Ravenna, Italy. His works boasted of expressive line, geometric shapes and spirals. They are punctuated by a mystical quality and are very stylized. His use of Oriental colors brings to mind decadence and eroticism. Klimt often drew women masturbating, and men usually have their backs to the viewer in his sketches. The women in his creations sport long, flowing hair and exude sexual confidence. Their bodies are lean and curvy. The female figures appear alluring and threatening, even mysterious.
