Klimt


Gustav Klimt was a Viennese artist known for his work with gold leaf as well as his lurid depictions of nude women.


this image is from the publication Ver Sacrum, put out by the secessionist group of Vienna ( a group which Klimt was president of for a short time).
The whiplash style of brushstroke he uses is typical of Art Nouveau.
