Klimt's works were characterized, in his first artistic phase, by cultivating an eclectic style, with an interest in historical themes. Later, Klimt was one of the protagonists of the artistic movement that would make him go down in history: Modernism (Art Nouveau), developed in Europe mainly at the beginning of the 20th century.
From 1909, Klimt begins to experiment and become an expert in mosaic work, these are his most known works today, for example: The Kiss or Judith.
The main themes that inspired his paintings are: sexuality, love, and death. The value of the works is evident when seeing the prices they have reached in the market, for example, the portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer painted in 1907, was acquired for 135 million dollars by the New York Neue Galerie in 2006. © diCrox.
