Major Gustav Klimt Website is Launched

April 29, 2012 - PRLog -- There has been extraordinary interest in Gustav Klimt over recent years and this has led to his paintings being reproduced in all manner of different forms, including key rings and mugs, which the artist could probably never had inviseged during his own lifetime.

As a direct result of this interest, it was decided that more websites were needed to accurately cover the artist's life in full and also provide options for those looking to buy copies of his paintings to add to their own homes

With KlimtTreeOfLife.com and TheKissGustavKlimt.com now set up and recently launched, there are now two great sources for information on a painter who inspired many of us with his bold style with was expressive and uplifting, often noted for his heavy use of gold leaf painting and mystical imagery.

There are extensive galleries which offer the career highlights of this Austrian master and they are great ways of visually browsing through the career of the artist quickly, before finding more information on their lives elsewhere in the website. It is likely that these will be added to overtime, as the website develops and takes on more requests from readers who are interested in seeing it become even more comprehensive over time.

There were several key expressive artists around the start of the 20th century and this was a time when new ideas were coming in and starting to change the direction of European art from what had gone before and Gustav Klimt was one of the most important of those, with his work immediately drawing a connection with his audience, much as it continues to do today.

Beyond The Tree of Life and The Kiss were a key elements of European art history, the artist also created several exceptional landscape paintings of scenes across Austria as well as several other portraits and much more besides. Other excellent paintings included The Virgin, Mother and Child plus several portraits of Adele Bloch-Bauer who was one of the artist's favourite models.
