  2. Gustav KlimtStyle: Art Nouveau & Symbolism P.O.B: Baumgarten, Austria Birth: 1862 Death: 1918 Is known for: being a painter of women. Klimt’s primary subject was the female body. He was much criticized for his work for his three large paintings for the University of Vienna. Paintings were deemed too radical and were not displayed. These paintings were later destroyed by Nazi’s in the 1940’s. He wore a large robe in his studio and had numerous children (14) by various women. He never married. He befriended Emilie Floge and was by his side at his death bed at his request.

  3. “The Kiss”1907, medium: oil on canvas Description 1. By far, Klimt’s most famous painting. The painting depicts a couple.
