In my Art classes, I am teaching the children about an Austrian artist 'Gustav Klimt' from the 18-1900's... I was inspired when studying his personality and feelings on the world...
In the words of Klimt:
'Whoever wants to know something about me - as an artist, the only notable thing - ought to look carefully at my pictures and try and see in them what I am and what I want to do'...
Klimt was fascinated with the female body form and his work was highly controversial due to erotic scenes. Interestingly enough, he never painted a self-portrait, he was simply - 'selfless'.
