Quotes By Gustav Klimt

Gustav Klimt

Gustav Klimt

Gustav Klimt

Gustav Klimt
Sometimes I miss out the morning's painting session and instead study my Japanese books in the open.
Gustav Klimt
Whoever wants to know something about me - as an artist which alone is significant - they should look attentively at my pictures and there seek to recognise what I am and what I want.
Gustav Klimt
