Gustav Klimt at Home

Can't wait to read this book! So happy with my purchase!

Although the title is a little misleading – I expected the book to be a more intimate portrait of Klimt, with the emphasis on him literally “at home” in a domestic setting – it is nevertheless a marvellous introduction and overview of the man and his art. Beautifully illustrated, with many photographs, the book is a thoughtful exploration of his work as well as an exploration of the background to his art and the artistic milieu in which he flourished. I’m surprised that it has so few reviews – at the time of writing (November 2019) there are only 4 on Amazon, and not many more on Goodreads – as it deserves far more attention. It’s an intelligent and illuminating work, well-researched and well-written, and essential reading for any art lover.

Loads of amazing information and writing
