Gustav Klimt: A Painted Fairy Tale

32 pp. | Prestel | August, 2007 | Trade ISBN 978-3-7913-3704-3 $14.95
(4) 4-6 This book examines the life, influences, and work of Klimt, from his start as a fresco painter to his landscapes, innovative portraits, and The Kiss. Many of his paintings are handsomely reproduced, and some sketches and photographs are also included. A lack of source material, occasionally choppy translation from the German, and some odd design choices hamper the volume.
