Adele Bloch-Bauer (1907)

Without a doubt, the greatest of Klimt’s “Golden” period. The ritous ornament incorporates elements borrowed from Egyptian and Mycenaean art. http://www.iklimt.com/

Death and Life (1908-1911)

Gustav Klimt’s large painting Death and Life, created in 1910, features not a personal death but rather merely an allegorical Grim Reaper who gazes at “life” with a malicious grin. This “life” is comprised of all generations: every age group is represented, from the baby to the grandmother, in this depiction of the never-ending circle of life. http://www.leopoldmuseum.org
