Gustav Klimt
Klimt was born on July 14th, 1862 in Baumgarten near Vienna. He was one of seven children and they have lived in poverty most of their lives. When Klimt was just 14 years old, he dropped out of school but managed to get enrolled in a College of arts and crafts. He began to make prophet for his living while in school because his artwork was a masterpiece.
Klimt became one of the members at Secession, Vienna. Him and a couple of other young boys had the job to create exhibition halls that stood out as young artist artwork. Their hall was not just one subject, but included symbolism, realism, and naturalism as well.
Throughout Klimt's career, he was hired to do some paintings in colleges that weren't accepted because they were considered too scandalist. One of his famous paintings is Beethoven Frieze that was in the 14th Exhibit in Secession that he painted on the wall.
Klimt died on February 6th, 1918. He suffered from a stroke and pneumonia.
He said, “I have never painted a self-portrait. I am less interested in myself as a subject for a painting than I am in other people, above all women…There is nothing special about me. I am a painter who paints day after day from morning to night…Who ever wants to know something about me… ought to look carefully at my pictures.”
