Only edition, rare. Decorative booklet on the life and work of Gustav Klimt, prepared by the Viennese writer Felix Salten (1869-1945), author of "Bambi". Adorned with delicate ornaments in green, black and gold, carried out by Berthold Löffler (1874-1960), a Viennese artist of the Vienna Secession and the Wiener Werkstätte. The work describes Klimt's wide-ranging talents, addresses the fierce criticism levelled against the artist for his non-conventional style, then deemed pornographic, and includes a description of the author's personal favourite painting, "Judith" (1901).

Extremities very slightly bumped.
