Description: Stuttgart: Hatje Cantz, 2013. 30cm., pbk., 280pp., 150 color illus. German text. Summary: Gustav Klimt (1862-1918) was a celebrated figure and innovator in modern Austrian art. Rudolf Leopold developed an early interest in the art of "Vienna 1900," and began collecting works by Gustav Klimt in the 1950s. The collector's preferences did not always coincide with the generally dominant opinions of art critics at the time; instead, he relied solely on his incorruptible eye for artistic quality and on the hidden painterly aspects of the works he selected. Today the Leopold Museum in Vienna, named after him, has one of the world's most important collections of modern Austrian art. The catalogue of the Klimt works in the collection contains eight masterly paintings, including major works such as the landscape Die große Pappel II (Aufsteigendes Gewitter) (The big poplar II, coming storm, 1902/03) or the Tod und Leben (Death and life, 1910/11, revised 1915/16), as well as around 100 drawings by the master.
