More from Gustav Klimt
"I am a painter, who has painted a series of pictures. I don't know what else I am."
"Today I want to start working again in earnest – I'm looking forward to it because doing nothing does become rather boring after a while."
"The greatest art is that which stirs the soul."
"There is no self-portrait of myself. I am not interested in my own person as a subject for painting, but rather in others, especially women, and, more than that, in other appearances."
"There is nothing that special to see when looking at me."
