He was a member of the Vienna Secession movement, which disavowed the Association of Austrian Artists' traditionalism in favor of modern styles like ArtNouveau. As a result of his avant-garde sensibilities, much of his work is highly stylized, with bright color schemes and creative decorative patterns to establish texture. He frequently painted the female form, emotions, and erotic subject matter. Klimt also did commercial commissions, and painted murals and ceiling paintings for buildings in Vienna, though his tendency to portray nudes would often scandalize the establishment.

Klimt died in 1918 at the age of 55. He left a strong artistic legacy that continues to influence artists today. [[SmallReferencePools Although if you've heard of any of his paintings]], it's likely ''The Kiss''.
