Premium Member Gustav Klimt
"The Three Ages of Woman," painted by the noted symbolist named Gustav Klimt; from Austria, late-nineteenth century till early twentieth, he left his mark. At center, woman with her child held close; his view of motherhood, fertility, so goddess-like, entwined in sheer chiffon. Flushed cheeks, gold hair, and alabaster skin; this...
