While offering a comprehensive review of existing Klimt criticism, this book aims to shed new light on the artist's output by arguing that his works challenge a number of established boundaries, thereby performing a continual crossing of thresholds. This study explores Klimt's threshold universe by means of detailed analyses of a wide range of his works from all phases of his prolific career.
Austrian symbolist painter Gustav Klimt (1862-1918) expressed in his work a fascination with the liminal worlds that underpin his figures and landscapes. His art echoes different styles and traditions yet he has no obvious predecessors or disciples.
Offering a critical reappraisal of Klimt, the author explores the threshold universe depicted in a wide range of works from all phases of his prolific career, complemented with references to his correspondence.
