Gustav Klimt’s tenderly maternal “Mother and Child” is rich in his trademark ornamentation and swirls of golden objects. Inspired by multiple cultures and Symbolist paintings, Klimt (1862-1918), was a pioneer in the Viennese Secession and Art Nouveau movements, which laid the groundwork for Modernist and Art Deco styles. Highly stylized, and often explicitly sensual, Klimt’s influence can still be felt in today’s modern art.
