Gustav Klimt adored for his murals and paintings Turned life in poverty into art of awesome glory Pioneering erotic paintings depicting female body Moving boldly to shape pages of his artistic story. Honored for murals painted in famous public places Klimt became renowned at relatively young age, Soon changing course of his creative endeavors Crossing boundaries of norm to launch a new phase. Paintings like Philosophy, Medicine, Jurisprudence Quickly became symbolic of his early innovation, Yet, he was shunned due to misplaced objections, His trio was later destroyed by ignorant generation. Moving boldly to declare freedom of expression Painting Nuda Veritas to foretell his intentions Achieving critical acclaim using gold in his portraits, The Kiss raised his profile to yet higher dimension. Exotic naked women became hallmark of his art, Depicting Girlfriends in colors of nude confluence, Drawing Adele Bloch-Bauer I as an elegant woman Wrapped in a golden gown of rich Asian influence. So many paintings became renowned masterpieces As Death and Life won first prize in world exhibition And Adele Bloch-Bauer sold for huge remuneration Rejoicing art lovers who seek to own his creations. The Apple Tree I, Birch Forest, Litzlberg am Attersee, Adorned with nature, joining ranks of so many more, Upon Klimt's death became tremendously valuable As admirers of his art continue to cherish and adore. November 28, 2017 Klimt Sponsor: Anthony Slausen

I do not know much about this reputed painter and haven't seen any of his paintings, though have heard his name ! This is such an informative piece, written so beautifully. From the paintings you have imaged here, I know how you have done justice to him and his art works ! Your poem is indeed an artwork in words.

Hello Vijay, Thanks for your recent comment on my latest poem. The title of your Verse here certainly caught my eye for all of the right reasons. Living here in Germany as I have for many years, I'm very aware of both German and Austrian artists and writers. In the case of Gustav Klimmt, I know his paintings very well. And, because of this, I do greatly appreciate and value what you've your written in your poem here about him and his works. Magnificent Work, Vijay!! A BIG FAVE!! Best, Gary

wow, you know a lot about him. It's too bad the three you mentioned got destroyed. I am not much for modern art, but I like how colorful the paintings are.
