'''Gustav Klimt''' [July 14, 1862 – February 6, 1918) was an [[Austria]]n [[Symbolist]] painter and one of the most prominent members of the [[Vienna]] [[Art Nouveau]] ([[Vienna Secession]]) movement. His major works include paintings, murals, sketches, and other art objects, many of which are on display in the Vienna Secession gallery. Klimt's primary subject was the female body, (" The most important element of his fame is his reputation as a master of eroticism". Fleidel, Gottfried: "Gustav Klimt 1862-1918 The World in Female Form.", p. 14. Benedikt Taschen, 1994.) and his works are marked by a frank eroticism--nowhere is this more apparent than in his numerous drawings in pencil
