2017 Gustav Klimt Wall Calendar Details

Early in his career, Gustav Klimt (Austrian, 18621918) adopted the classical painting style of his teachers at the Vienna School of Arts and Crafts, but in the 1890s he broke from tradition and cofounded the Vienna Secession, a movement encouraging all artists to explore uncharted territory in their work. Klimts art shifted from staid murals to erotically charged, often controversial paintings of women, and portraits of Viennas social elite would come to dominate his career. Later in life he would shift to landscape painting devoid of the human form and bordering on pure abstraction. The twelve Klimt reproductions in this calendar exemplify the singular brilliance of his style.

Reviews

I am a huge Klimt art lover and I probably have most of his prints by now. This calendar has a few that I don't have and at the end of the year, when I take apart the calendar and frame the prints, they will go match up well with the other portraits I have of his. I love going to flea markets and finding old frames to put the prints in. Also, Hobby Lobby has some very unique frames, too, and they're pretty inexpensive.
