Gustav Klimts "Water Serpent, abstract poster print "Water Serpent is an outstanding reproduction that displays the vivid colors and style for which the artistic genius, Gustav Klimt, is so well known and loved. The tones and colors of this picture exemplify the level of mastery that Gustav had achieved in the art world. This poster print displays the perfect balance between quick, dashing and jagged strokes, combined with slow, smooth and curving strokes that feather out into nothingness. The female form is fairly dominant, as it was a favorite subject of Klimts. Even though the figures are elongated and abstracted, there is an elegant kind of beauty that is absolutely mesmerizing. Fascinating and imaginative forms are created through the use of layered patterned areas that twist and turn through space. This makes the piece highly interesting as the viewer follows these intricacies throughout the work. It is wonderfully framed in a gold aluminum frame that accents the bold designs of the picture, while nicely complementing its more modern sensibilities. It is an outstanding representation that measures 33 ¾ x 13, which includes the frame in these dimensions. This would be a great buy for any art lover. Gustav Klimt (July 14, 1862  February 6, 1918) was an Austrian Symbolist painter and one of the most prominent members of the Vienna Art Nouveau (Vienna Secession) movement. His major works include paintings, murals, sketches and other art objects, many of which are on display in the Vienna Secession gallery. Klimt's primary subject is the female body, and his works are marked by a frank eroticism. His pencil drawings, which are very numerous, have been regarded by many as his greatest legacy.
