Gustav Klimt (1862-1918) was an unlikely artistic rebel, but in early 20th century Vienna, the work of this mild mannered painter created a scandal. Having enjoyed a conventionally successful early career, Klimt's art changed radically and he became leader of the Vienna Secession, a group of avant-garde artists who would change the Viennese art scene forever. Klimt's work became increasingly erotic in nature with his deeply sensual portraits of women which still make an impression on the modern viewer.
