Gustav Klimt was an Austrian symbolist painter, widely considered to be one of the most important artists of the Art Nouveau movement. He is best known for his gilded, decorative portraits and landscapes, which often feature sinuous lines, gold leaf, and complex patterns. His work was heavily influenced by Japanese art and he is considered a pioneer of modern art in Europe. He was a founding member of the Vienna Secession movement, which sought to break away from the traditional academies and promote modern art.
Klimt's most famous works include the portraits "Adele Bloch-Bauer I" and "The Kiss," both of which are highly valued and widely recognized. He died in 1918, but his work continues to inspire artists and art lovers around the world.

You have a super program here!
The Meet the Masters program has been a real blessing for not only my classroom, but also to me as an individual. I love learning about the lives of these artists, and then seeing the students apply the artistsā techniques themselves. Even if you already have a stock of āprojectsā that you rely on, Meet the Masters is a wonderful addition to your program. I recommend this to every teacher I know!
