To speak of Klimt's artistic genius is to speak of Vienna. Klimt would not have been what he was, were it not for the highly refined cultural context that flourished in the Austrian capital during this period.

The life of Gustav Klimt was a strange adventure lived out against the fin-de-siecle backdrop of one of Europe's most prolific centers of culture. To speak of Klimt's artistic genius is to speak of Vienna. Klimt would not have been what he was, were it not for the highly refined cultural context that flourished in the Austrian capital during this period. And in Klimt, Vienna discovered one of the most fascinating figures of its cultural flowering.
