Tim Marlow gives a quick introduction to Gustav Klimt, one of the two Viennese masters whose works on paper are shown side-by-side in our exhibition 'Klimt / Schiele'.

Gustav Klimt's richly decorative painting style and exquisite draughtsmanship made him one of the most distinctive artists of early Modernism. Step into his world in this short video, presented by our Artistic Director Tim Marlow.

Klimt / Schiele: Drawings from the Albertina Museum, Vienna is in The Sackler Wing of Galleries until 3 February 2019.
