"Why does Gustav Klimt (1862-1918) travel to Italy several times although he feels homesick before he even crosses the border? The Viennese painter is fascinated by the magnificent mosaics that he sees in the churches in Italy. And this is just the way he wants his paintings to glitter too. Angela Wenzel takes us to the golden world of Gustav Klimt and shows us how the famous Art Nouveau painter lived and worked."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
