Finally another Klimt Wine Master. Klimt is another big favorite of mine but doing paintings after
him is so intense as there is so very much detail. They take a very long time but I am always happy
with the result. I haven't done many with dark dramatic backgrounds such as I am known for
with my Drama Works Series nude oil paintings. I really like the drama of the way the colors stand out
against the black background so I think I will be painting more drama into some of my next pieces.
This is Klimt Wine Master IV.......wonder how many I will do?

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, "The most important element of his fame is his reputation as a master of eroticism." [ and his works are marked by a frank eroticism–nowhere is this more apparent than in his numerous drawings in pencil. These female subjects, whether formal portraits or indolent nudes, invariably display a highly sensitized fin de siècle elegance. Klimt work was a move away from naturalism, the depiction of realistic objects in a natural setting. The Realism movement of the 19th century advocated naturalism in reaction to the stylized and idealized depictions of subjects in Romanticism. Klimt's work sought to break this connection, preferring a more symbolic mode of expression.
