This probing and innovative monograph, based on interdisciplinary and multicultural approach, traces the trajectory of the Japanese influence on Klimtâs heterogeneous and idiosyncratic oeuvre.

Placing Klimtâs experimentations with Japanese stimuli in a broad historical and cultural context, it unfolds a vibrant picture of the unprecedented creative dialogue and synthesis of Japanese models by one of the most important modernists. Closely investigating the intricate anatomy of Klimtâs art, this ground-breaking project constructs a critical theory of the evolution of Klimtâs style and is the first comprehensive study of the role of Japonisme in its genesis. Focusing on Klimtâs experimentation with Japanese models, the book presents a multifaceted conception of Klimtâs modernism, thereby providing an indispensable and vital account of Vienna 1900.

The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, Japanese studies and European studies.
