Gustav Klimt (1862-1918) was an Austrian Symbolist painter and one of the most prominent members of the Vienna Secession movement. His major works include paintings, murals and sketches. Klimt's primary subject was the female body and his works are marked by a frank eroticism and nowhere is this more apparent than in his numerous drawings in pencil.
Klimt created a world of erotically charged dream images. Woman is his all-absorbing theme: he paints her naked or gloriously adorned, moving, sitting, standing, lying, in all poses, with all gestures, even the most intimate - ready to kiss and be kissed, in ecstasy, in voluptuous expectation he shares this passion to portray woman in all her moods,
More than 3000 of Klimt's drawings have survived. Neglected for a long time, but now they are regarded as an essential supplement to his paintings. The drawings indeed show Klimt's paintings in the making, reflecting his daily striving to grasp reality, the planning of his compositions and their variant forms. The erotic tension which grips the viewer arises from the interrelation between that which is revealed and that which is concealed. The close relationship between artist and model is often so apparent that viewing Klimt's drawings seems an indiscretion, an intrusion: one feels oneself becoming a voyeur.

**the giclee process produces a superior quality, fine art reproduction from a high-resolution digital file of an image. The file is then printed with a high-resolution photo generation printer on a fine art paper. Most artists and working photographers today use the giclee process to produce reproductions of their original artwork and photographs.
As with any original art or fine art reproduction, it is recommended that prints are framed and displayed under glass to prevent color fade or shift over the years.
