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.

All art is erotic.

Although even when I am being idle I have plenty of food for thought both early and late - thoughts both about and not about art.

Sometimes I miss out the morning's painting session and instead study my Japanese books in the open.

There is nothing that special to see when looking at me. I'm a painter who paints day in day out, from morning till evening - figure pictures and landscapes, more rarely portraits.
