古斯塔夫‧克林姆無疑是一名偉大的畫家，但他最引人注目的風格，是建立在清澈、流暢的素描和水彩畫之中那種強列的情慾氛圍─裸女、情色、同性戀─等禁忌主題之上，另一方面又具有諷刺性與歷史洞見。
本書收錄克林姆的數百幅畫作，作者Rainer Metzger提供對於其作品中理性與感性兼俱的探討─既增進藝術知識，也帶出畫作的視覺衝擊。
There can be no doubt about Klimt’s greatness as a draughtsman. Remarkable above all is the intensely sensual mood that he establishes in his limpid, fluid drawings and watercolours.
Rainer Metzger brings together hundreds of Klimt’s works on paper in a way that enriches our knowledge of the artist and enhances the visual impact of his oeuvre. Many revolve around Klimt’s taboo-breaking main themes – the naked woman, erotica and homoerotica – while others provide allegorical and historical insights. Between these two poles lie Klimt’s elegantly direct preparatory sketches and studies, tirelessly and manically executed – frameworks that would lay the foundations for his paintings.
This book is a fitting testament to a hitherto neglected aspect of Klimt’s art, which is as complex and contradictory as the times in which it was made and as the man who made it.
