There is no doubt about Gustav Klimts greatness as a draftsman. Remarkable above all is the intensely sensual mood that he establishes in his limpid  fluid drawings and watercolors: the pencil or crayon line with which his subjects are described explores and caresses as though the act of drawing was itself a seduction. Klimts drawings are often highly erotic and explicit  many to such an extent that they have rarely been reproduced. This has made for an unbalanced representation of his work as a draftsman  and a comprehensive survey of his graphic output is long overdue.  Rainer Metzger  a noted art historian  has brought together hundreds of Klimts drawings and watercolors in a way that enriches our knowledge of the artist and enhances the visual impact of his oeuvre. Klimts drawings and studies  and his elegantly direct and dangerously intoxicating preparatory sketches  reveal the underlying impetus for and structure of his elaborate canvases. 307 color illustrations.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45650325569589,"sku":"ByrdShop_050023826X","price":347.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780500238264.jpg?v=1781794353","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/gustav-klimt-drawings-watercolors-9780500238264","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
