Gustav Klimt: The Complete Paintings

Lovely book bought as a gift!

Although gold was used to colour various pages and title plaques and on the cover, yellows were used in the book where golds had been used by Klimt, and often the other printed colours seemed rather 'washed out'. In my opinion, the result is a tome containing a large collection of plates which don't seem vibrant. I suppose the price should warn one about what to expect: Thank goodness this wasn't intended to be a gift. I'd not order again from this series.

ON MY LIVING ROOM TABLE(I WOULD BE CONCERNED THAT ONE MAY SPILL SOMETHING OR THE SPINE WOULD BE DAMAGED BY SOME JUST LOOKING WITH NO REAL INTEREST) THIS IS JUST ONE OF MY FAVOURITE ARTISTS A BEAUTIFUL BOOK WELL PRESENTED AND TAKES PRIDE OF PLACE WITH MY OTHER GREAT ARTISTS BOOKS ON MY SHELVES. WORTH EVERY PENNY.

Bought for my wife who likes his paintings. It weighs a great deal and is a beautifully produced volume, which reveals rather more of his varied style of painting than I was previously aware of. Definitely a book which will be often referred to.

Absolutely fantastic book. But at over 8lbs in weight not easy to read in bed!:

Wonderful book. Fabulous prints and quality. Everything superb. A little heavy to hold but well worth it. Delighted.
