维也纳艺术家古斯塔夫·克里姆特（1862–1918）逝世一个世纪后，他那毫不掩饰的色情元素、令人炫目的画面以及艺术实验精神依然令人惊叹。这本专著汇集了克里姆特的所有主要作品，同时配有权威的艺术史评论，并有幸收录了这位艺术家的档案资料。

该书采用高品质的插图，包括著名的斯托克莱特壁画的全新照片，跟随克里姆特的脚步，展现他在1897年分离派运动中所扮演的重要角色、他对女性身体的坦率描绘，以及他辉煌的“黄金时期”——在这一时期，金箔为《吻》和《阿黛勒·布洛赫-鲍尔一世肖像》（也被称为《黄金女人》）等深受喜爱的作品带来了闪闪发光的色调和质感。

通过精美的版面设计和精心选取的细节，这本专著追溯了那些影响克里姆特的元素来源，包括日本艺术、拜占庭艺术和寓言题材，这些元素造就了他扁平化的视角、象征性的词汇以及马赛克般的纹理。该书还借鉴了当代评论家和相关人士的观点，探讨了艺术界对克里姆特作品的两极化 reception，以及他自身的风格发展轨迹。从他的风景画到色情作品，再到颇具争议的维也纳大学大厅天顶画，我们可以看到克里姆特对传统与创新的融合如何在媒体和公众中引发分歧——一些人斥责他为色情作品画家，另一些人则将他誉为现代艺术大师。

A century after his death, Viennese artist Gustav Klimt (1862–1918) still startles with his unabashed eroticism, dazzling surfaces, and artistic experimentation. This monograph gathers all of Klimt’s major works alongside authoritative art historical commentary and privileged access to the artist’s archive.

With top quality illustration, including new photography of the celebrated Stoclet Frieze, the book follows Klimt through his prominent role in the Secessionist movement of 1897, his candid rendering of the female body, and his lustrous “golden phase” when gold leaf brought a shimmering tone and texture to such beloved works as The Kiss and Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I, also known as The Woman in Gold.

Through luminous spreads and carefully curated details, the monograph traces the repertoire of Japanese, Byzantine, and allegorical stimuli that informed Klimt’s flattened perspectives, his symbolic vocabulary, and his mosaic-like textures. Drawing upon contemporary critics and voices, the book also examines the art world’s polarized reception to Klimt’s pictures as much as his own stylistic trajectory. From his landscape painting to erotic works to the controversial ceiling for the Great Hall of the University of Vienna, we see how Klimt’s admixture of tradition and daring divided the press and public―becried by some as a pornographer, hailed by others as a modern maestro.
