“An exhibition of 120 of Gustav Klimt’s lesser known erotic drawings was recently on view at the Maillol Museum in Paris. Apart from his extraordinary landscapes, atmospheric and almost spiritual, which were primarily vacation work painted during summers spent on the Attersee, the Viennese artist’s theme has always been La Femme. His women are often sumptuously attired and extravagantly decorated, or naked, sitting or standing coyly as are the three Gorgones from La frise Beethoven . However, in the Paris exhibition they were in various states of dress and undress, sprawled in armchairs and lying on the floor in every position both imaginable and unimaginable.” (read more: “Gustav Klimt: Erotic Drawings of Young Women” by Patricia Boccardo, June 27th, 2005)
