Gustav Klimt was notably inspired by the Symbolist movement, which emphasized emotional expression and dreamlike imagery. He was influenced by artists such as Egon Schiele and the work of the Pre-Raphaelites, particularly their use of color and intricate detail. Additionally, Klimt drew inspiration from Japanese art, especially in terms of composition and the decorative aspects seen in his use of gold and ornamental patterns. His exposure to the Vienna Secession movement also played a crucial role in shaping his unique artistic style.

Nobody knows these days. How important is that for enjoying his art?
Gustav Klimt was a painter of primarily oil on canvas, sometimes using gold leafing (during his "Golden" phase) or gliding. He used many yellows, golds, browns, and greens in his works; spirals, swirls, and phallic designs were used frequently throughout. Klimt often painted with themes of the female body, and was influenced by an eccentric range of artists, movements, and cultures to attain his distinctive style.
