Gustav Klimt - Austrian painter and graphic artist, symbolist. One of the most prominent representatives of Art Nouveau, representative of Viennese Modernism. From about 1890 Klimt began to increasingly develop his unique expressionist style, which is distinguished by characteristic flat ornaments. In 1890, he left the Künstlerhaus artists' association and, together with other artists, founded the Vienna Secession. An association that made Art Nouveau, or Art Nouveau, a departure, a separation from the prevailing norms, rules and traditions in art. In 1897, Gustav Klimt stands in the spotlight of the jupiter in an instant. As president of the Association of Austrian Artists, he is a leading figure among the so-called Secessionists, those striving for a renewal in art. The Secession Pavilion in Vienna's Charles Square becomes the exhibition building for the new movement. This is a period of the biggest art scandals to date, culminating in 1900 when Gustav Klimt completed paintings depicting allegories of the faculties of the University of Vienna. In a letter of protest over the allegories of faculties painted by Klimt for the University of Vienna, it said: "We are not fighting against naked art, nor against free art, only against ugly art." At the World Exhibition in Paris, Klimt is awarded the Grand Prix for his painting "Philosophy" from the cycle of allegories of faculties. From that moment on, Gustav Klimt enjoys fame on a European scale.
