Hi, My name is Kylie and I am a avid fan of the artwork of the great Gustav Klimt. Funnily enough, my husbands ex girlfiend is the person responsible for getting me hooked on Klimt!! She bought my hubby and I a small print when we first got together and i have been hooked ever since!! He had such an interesting way of portraying the female form in an erotic nature, with many of his art also having a dark side to it also. Please feel free to check out my own profile also. I am in the top friends.....................................................

..................................................Gustav Klimt (July 14, 1862 – February 6, 1918) was an Austrian Symbolist painter and one of the most prominent members of the Vienna Art Nouveau (Vienna Secession) movement. His major works include paintings, murals, sketches and other art objects, many of which are on display in the Vienna Secession gallery. Klimt's primary subject was the female body,[1] and his works are marked by a frank eroticism--nowhere is this more apparent than in his numerous drawings in pencil (see Mulher sentada, below). These female subjects, whether formal portraits or indolent nudes, invariably display a highly sensitized elegance....................................................
