		Gustav Klimt was the principal Austrian Jugendstil (Art Nouveau) painter, and one of the founders of the Vienna Sezession (1898), although he resigned in 1903.
		As the portrayer of woman, the good-living, plump, feminine, amorous woman, even the female fatale, Klimt, with his powerfully suggestive portraits of beautiful ladies of Viennese society, places the emphasis, in the same way as Freud, on the importance of sexuality as the principal aspect of life and its determining element.

	Philolog: Pallas Athene of Gustav Klimt: Eyes of a Goddess (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Gustav Klimt's use of Classical myth iconography is directly derivative of antiquity in his many images of Athena.
		Perhaps Klimt implies that power is a catalyst to sexual instincts, as history has long suggested that power is one of the most important sexual stimuli in human behavior and that the desire for power is strongly connected to sexual desire.
		Klimt seems to deliberately frame both faces with the same coppery hair to draw the comparison in the viewers’ eyes: the monster is only semi-divine whereas Athena’s power is fully divine.

	Gustav Klimt Museum presented by LAKS.com
		Far from being acknowledged as the representative artist of his age, Klimt was the target of violent criticism; his work was sometimes displayed behind a screen to avoid corrupting the sensibilities of the young.
		Yet life's seductions are still more potent in the vicinity of death, and Klimt's works, although they do not explicitly speak of impending doom, constitute a sort of testament in which the desires and anxieties of an age, its aspiration to happiness and to eternity, receive definitive expression.
		For the striking two-dimensionality with which Klimt surrounds his figures evokes the gold ground of Byzantine art, a ground that, in negating space, may be regarded as negating time - and thus creating a figure of eternity.
