Colouring pages are blank on the back so they can be cut out and displayed. During his lifetime, Gustav Klimt (1862–1918) was said to have created the most beautiful painting in the world. Not all critics agreed with that opinion, but one thing is certain: Gustav Klimt displayed great flair for originality in the numerous sketches and paintings he created. Whether his subjects were buildings, chickens, or people, Klimt made each image unique and striking— often by including colourful patterns and dazzling details. You will find twenty-two of Gustav Klimt’s artworks in this coluoring book. They are shown as small pictures on the inside front and back covers. When you colour in the line drawings, you could copy the originals, or you might prefer to create your own colour combinations. We’ve left the last page of this colouring book blank so that you can draw and colour a picture of your own. Will it be a portrait, a landscape, a picture of your house and family, or something wholly from your imagination? Each illustration is reproduced in a small, colour version of the original artwork and as a full-page black line drawing.
