Gustav KlimtAs prominent member of the renewed art group Secession, Klimt is one of the most prominent pathfinders of modern painting. In addition to that, his ornamental Jugendstil irresistibly evokes the Viennese fin-die-siècle feeling: elitist, conventional-liberal, sometimes decadent-pleasing-decorative.
