Gustav Klimt Quotes

There is always hope, as long as the canvases are empty Picture Quote #1

All art is erotic Picture Quote #1

True relaxation, which would do me the world of good, does not exist for me Picture Quote #1

Although even when I am being idle I have plenty of food for thought both early and late - thoughts both about and not about art Picture Quote #1

There is nothing that special to see when looking at me. I’m a painter who paints day in day out, from morning till evening - figure pictures and landscapes, more rarely portraits Picture Quote #1

On my first days here I did not start work immediately but, as planned, I took it easy for a few days - flicked through books, studied Japanese art a little Picture Quote #1

I have never painted a self-portrait. I am less interested in myself as a subject for a painting than I am in other people, above all women... There is nothing special about me. I am a painter who paints day after day from morning to night... Who ever wants to know something about me... ought to look carefully at my pictures Picture Quote #1

I have the gift of neither the spoken nor the written word, especially if I have to say something about myself or my work. Whoever wants to know something about me -as an artist, the only notable thing- ought to look carefully at my pictures and try and see in them what I am and what I want to do Picture Quote #1

If the weather is good I go into the nearby wood - there I am painting a small beech forest (in the sun) with a few conifers mixed in. This takes until 8 ‘o clock Picture Quote #1

After tea it’s back to painting - a large poplar at dusk with a gathering storm. From time to time instead of this evening painting session I go bowling in one of the neighbouring villages, but not very often Picture Quote #1

Even when I have to write a simple letter I’m scared stiff as if faced with looming seasickness Picture Quote #1

Sometimes I miss out the morning’s painting session and instead study my Japanese books in the open Picture Quote #1

There is nothing that special to see when looking at me Picture Quote #1

Art is a line around your thoughts Picture Quote #1

I can paint and draw. I believe this myself and a few other people say that they believe this too. But I’m not certain of whether it’s true Picture Quote #1

If you walk into a coffee shop in 1903 Vienna, you might find at the same table the artist Gustav Klimt, Sigmund Freud, Leon Trotsky and possibly Adolf Hitler, who lived in Vienna at the same time Picture Quote #1

The coffeehouse is good for genius, and the Viennese coffeehouse is a classic case. Freud had his favorite coffee shop, and so did Gustav Klimt Picture Quote #1
