Gustav Klimt biography: This video covers the life of famous artist Gustav Klimt from his beginnings in Baumgarten in Austria to his worldwide success. He was prodigiously talented even from a young age, as was his brother Ernst, who he would set up an artist's company with. Gustav The famous Austrian artist Gustav Klimt was the first president of the Viennese Secession, but his life was not without controversy, the University paintings being a good example. Klimt is best known for his portraits which are painted in a very decorative style often using gold leaf combining geometric decoration with realistic depictions of hands and faces. His most famous painting probably being The Kiss, completed in 1908. His relationship with the fashion designer Emilie Flöge is covered as his Beethoven Frieze. His controversial paintings, Philosophy, Medicine, and Jurisprudence which he completed for Vienna University are also discussed. Klimt died in Vienna in 1918 just 55 years old.
The video had been created for those wishing to learn the basics of art history.

I so appreciate that you give clarity to the age of the artists at the time of their important works and stages of life.
Yes, I think that is important.
wonderful video. i'm a visual artist exhibiting in museums and galleries for 57 years. have always loved klimt's magnificent paintings too.
Really pleased you enjoyed my video. Cheers Paul
I would like to see some of your work! I'm a bankrupt painter from Austria, born in Vienna, studied under Hundertwasser, but Corona destroyed me and my family, my Italian artdealer died with whom I had an exclusive contract, so we are completely out of money, a dark future ahead of us...
Greetings from Austria, sincerely yours Christian and family 🎨
His painting golden lady was rated one of the top 3 most expensive paintings in the world! A great historical art education on film! I love his patterns mixed with realistic portraiture. Bold n beautiful.
Yes, he was a really great painter.
It was also stolen by the Nazi's and the museum that displayed it for years and years.
The painting was of the wife of a wealthy man. Her niece got finally back the painting of her aunt Adele.
There is an American movie with Ryan Reynolds.
This video introduced me to this channel and I must say, I'm quite impressed. The video is short, sweet and to the point, the editing is very effective, the narrator is a delight to listen to, and speaks incredibly clearly . I'll definitely be watching more of your videos, Paul, and recommending your my history of arts teacher for students who need a quick and understandable recap of our classes. Cheers.
That's great, really pleased you like my art history videos and thanks for the recommendation. Cheers Paul
@@ArtHistorySchool science relations ?
I second every word…Excellently narrated.
Yes very well done. Didn't realize that Klimt was a player too. :)
🌠🌃🎆🖌️🎨🥰
I am so happy I visited Klimt's exhibition in San Francisco at Legion of Honor. Being able to see his original paintings gave me such indescribable feelings ,my emotions were overwhelmed.
He was a great painter, a visit to Vienna would set everything in context.
This channel is underrated , a doc full of nice infos
Thanks, please tell your friends about my channel, cheers Paul
NARUTOOOO- wich jutsu should I do
Some might find it odd but here's my absolute favorite artist of all time! Thanks for this video!
Glad you enjoyed it! Cheers
For me, Klimt is still one of the most exiting painters of the last 200 years. His breadth of styles, his inventiveness and his accessibility were spectacular. I doubt if anyone who has seen 'Judith' has ever forgotten it, and not gone on to explore more of his work. The perennial question should be: "What do artists, other than Klimt, do all day?"
Klimt was a great artist. The only problem is this artist is called Klint and is a woman and she painted most of her days..
@@ArtHistorySchool A thousand pardons, but I have no idea who, or what 'this artist' is you're talking about, unless you mean Hilma Klint, who apparently spent all day determined to reach the other side. Are you saying the video is about Klint, and SHE painted 'The Kiss', and all the others?
Many apologies, your comment originally came up against my video about Hima af Klint, hence my comment. It now seems to have aligned properly with the correct artist.
@@ArtHistorySchoolAh! I see... Don't worry, Paul. I'm not going to crow, strut or primp, and your tutorials are superb. (But my meagre knowledge of the art World did temporarily shift on its axis!)
@@greghill7759 Cheers
If only my art instructors had been this captivating (back in the day).
Thank you for another informative video.
You are very welcome. Cheers Paul
Hello Joyce how are you doing over there?
Great video and very interesting insight into Gustav’s character. His work seen in person Is absolutely Stunning.
It certainly is. Glad you enjoyed the video. Cheers Paul
My favourite artist when I was 14 and he wasn't as well known to the the general public (1972). I still love him. He's an artist for romantics! Thank you so much for making this one. I enjoy ALL of your videos!
Many thanks. Cheers
Such a wonderful video - really enjoyed the commentator’s style
Glad you enjoyed my commentary and the video. Please tell your friends about my channel. Cheers Paul
I love how he speaks
He really has a nice way of telling the story does't he ? Loved the video
I love all the artists from all eras and styles, Klimt has a special place in my heart 🥰
He was a great artist. Cheers
2019 fall saw his painting exhibition in Vienna, especially “The kiss”.
Yes, its a great painting
Hello Anita how are you doing over there?
I see Gustav and his artwork in my dreams a lot, so have decided to learn more about him. Very curious
I hope you learnt a lot from my video, cheers Paul
Abby this is me today!!!! I got shivers when i read this!!!!!!!!!
Thank you Mr. Priestley. We sure enjoy your informative and entertaining style of narration, music and photography which works extremely well for the short films on famous artists. A+
Thank you kindly! Cheers Paul
He's my favorite painter, greatest artist ever! Love his work and his unique style! Thank you for
this documentary about him and his life&art!
Love you forever!

Hello Ana how are you doing over there?
He became my favorite Artist, I can thank my Twin Georg. He taught me so much about Art.
Your twin had good taste
Hello Sabrina how are you doing over there?
Thank you!! He’s my new favorite artist! So modern...I could see them being painted today.
He certainly was a great painter and one of my favourites too.
Thank you so much for this. I learned a great deal, and as my interest in Klimt is only just now truly becoming quite strong, my finding this was very well-timed. Again, thank-you. :)
You are very welcome
This homeschool mom and her kids found this video extremely useful.
That's great, glad you enjoyed the video, hopefully you'll enjoy the others as well. Cheers Paul
Fascinating artist and life and one of my favorite artists from the Art Nouveau period. and Secession movement in Vienna! He could have been a fashion illustrator like I was in NYC before retiring and having my own art business. Now I paint fairly big paintings as well as small ones in acrylic and am amazed that some of the elements in his paintings have inadvertantly made their way into my paintings, minus the jewels though I've used gold plated paint. Read that he had many affairs and illegitimate children as well. Fellow cat lover like myself and the quintessential artist back in the day! Thanks for sharing , love looking at all the details of his great work and wonderful portraits which I've done as well. In my teens I studied with a portrait teacher from the Yale School of Art and he was wonderful. We'd do art work on the deck of his ultra modern home in the woods on summer days in our bare feet! Still love to paint in the summer in my bare feet as well outdoors on my deck, too.Like your vest, too, nice~
You have led a fascinating life and obviously had a wonderful art education. Klimt was a stunning painter and I'm glad you enjoyed my video. Interesting that you like my 'vest'. Here it is known as a waistcoat ,we would know a vest as an item men might wear under a shirt. Cheers
@@ArtHistorySchool Yes, in the states here we call that a vest. I also love to wear vests and have a few of them myself. Never got to beautiful Vienna but my oldest daughter did while she took a river boat excursion down the "Blue Danube"! Would have loved to visited there and Beethoven and Schubert's graves along with Brahms. Vienna the city of great music/composers and desserts mit schlag! Got to other European countries, so that may be on my bucket list! So many great historic sites to see and visit. I'm not like some Americans in the Bible Belt and down south. This Yankee New Englander with family history here since the 1600s/1700s, has my head and heart in Europe most of the time since my forebears were from the U.K. Scotland/Ireland, France, Germany, Switzerland and Holland! Deep roots all the way back to the Vikings on my maternal side per my DNA test from Ancestry.com. and per a geneologist who did our family history in 1940. Found more fascinating facts on the internet as well which connects us all in more ways than one, small world.
Hello Brenda how are you doing over there?
Excellent video. Such an interesting way of presenting info about the artist. Thank you Paul! USA

He was an amazing artist
Another jewel. One of my favourite artists. Thank you Paul x

I had the great pleasure of seeing the Kiss in Vienna last year, whilst on holiday. I was bought to tears to finally see it in the flesh, so to speak.
Yes, I have seen it to, it is a great painting.

Yes, he was quite a painter.
One of my very favorites . My 2019 is Klimt calendar. As they say "a thing of beauty is a joy forever."
Yes, he's a brilliant artist.
That was a wonderful overview of his work and life... thank you.

Thank you for showing this wonderful pictures.
Glad you enjoyed it
The narrator has a comforting style similar to Neil Buchanan from the show Art Attack. Lovely video :)
Cheers, I'm pleased you enjoyed the video and my style. Cheers Paul
I thought the exact same, I think its the pacing, he doesn't talk too fast.
I've seen some videos on Klimt, but you had a couple bits that I didn't see in other videos. Nice. Appreciate it a lot.
Glad you enjoyed it! Cheers
Beautiful interpretation of Klimt, his life and work. Enjoying every moment of it. Thank you.❤
Glad you enjoyed it! Cheers

Wow, thank you! Really pleased you enjoy my videos. Cheers
Thank you. I enjoyed the video very much. So well exposed.. klimpt is my favorite painter and now i got to know him better.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for the video, I did learn a lot about Klimt. I’ve always had a poster up of his “virgins” and “the kiss” up on my wall but I knew little to nothing about his previous and future pieces from his golden age.
Thank you
I have long been a fan of Gustave Klimt, yet still learned so many new things about him in this video. Excellent work.
Cheers
I love your videos, very captive! Please don’t give up. I and many of my friends started enjoying immersive art shows, so I started doing researches on UA-cam and that’s how I find you , I believe more people will be drawn to your channel when these show become more popular 🌹🌹🌹
Thank you! Cheers! I will definitely not give up.
🤩 WOW, I can’t believe I got a reply from you 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
very nice video! I subscribed immediately. I love learning about artists like Klimt! I'll surely watch other videos on this channel. Thank you for creating this 💕🎨
Really pleased you enjoyed the video, I hope you enjoy the rest. Thanks for the sub!
Thank you for this fascinating video. I particularly enjoy the wider view of his life and work, as he is so
often viewed mainly through the lens of his famous “gold period.”
Well worth the time; enjoyed the
lively narration, and am subscribed.

Thank you, I hope you enjoy the rest of my videos and the Klimt exhibition.
Wow, thanks for making this video! I never heard of this artist and now I feel like I know him well. I love his garden and landscape paintings. Also fabulous video, well done!
Tomorrow, I'll be launching my latest video on the artist Edvard Munch. I hope you enjoy it. Cheers Paul
I love klimt's pictures
Hello dear how are you doing over there?
It is interesting how many times he painted Adele Bloch Bauer.
Great tutorial, thank you.
Yes, I wonder why!!?
Her wealthy husband had enough money to have his beautiful wife painted more than once.
They could not have kids. Adele was a collector of fine arts and she helped her favourite artists to survive by buying their paintings. She held salons and was very educated and cultivated.
Wow 🤩 thanks for the video!
You’re welcome 😊
Very well done, Paul. Many of these pieces I hadn't seen before, didn't know about. Thanks for these.
My pleasure! Glad you enjoyed my video. Cheers

Hello Michelle how are you doing over there?
Thank you for this biography of Gustav Klimt, especially when he lived as much as what he created. I've always admired his work, but knew very little about the man. Definitely ahead of his time, it's no wonder that he is more admired now than ever before. So influential, his sense of color and balance draw the viewer into his composition. It's obvious how much he loved his subjects. The results prove it ! I applaud his good taste !
Yes, he was a great artist. Cheers
I was so fortunate to see his work with my very own eyes in Vienna. Thank you for all the work you do.
Thanks for watching! Cheers
Extraordinary video, thanks! Subscribed.
Many thanks for the sub and glad you enjoyed the video. Cheers
this was so interesting and well delivered! def gonna subscribe and learn more!
Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for subscribing.
Gustav Klimt had a gift of combining an explosive color treatment with the subdue reflection of a woman as if she were projected from a mirror. The colorful and drastic attire would consume the subject as if the face were a second thought to the painting itself. My favorite 9:45 Adele Bloch-Bauer 1907. His work has a signature style recognizable upon first glimpse and awe inspiring to the very core of your being.
He certainly knew women and they certainly knew him. There is definitely a frisson at play in many of his paintings.
It was mostly wealthy women who had their portraits painted by Klimt and his reputation was well known. Yet they seemingly became involved with him, probably because they were bored with their lives in the elitist, conservative society in which they lived. Klimt was definitely not a saint, but remember it takes two to tango! You make many assumptions about him, and I have no wish to defend him, but life is not as black and white as you would like to make out.
Wooow! I love your work, I enjoyed your narrative!!!thank you( just suscribed)
Many thanks for subscribing, glad you enjoyed the video. Cheers
