Gustave Klimt, as the second eldest among seven, was born in a suburban area southeast of Vienna on July 14, 1862. His family had little money to live on, let alone raise seven children, but they remained ambitious. Rather than send Klimt to a modest Burgerschule - a basic school that offered a mediocre future, they whisked him off to the Kunstgewerbeschule - a school for the arts - once they recognized his remarkable talent in drawing.

At the Kunstgewerbeschule, he started with a very basic foundation in the arts at the beginning, but quickly surpassed both his peers and the limitations of a standard class. Once, his teachers recognized his talents, they accelerated his learning by commissioning his help on their own projects or other paid work. Eventually, Klimt joined

After the Secession, Klimt moved on to further develop on his own. He took on the grand task of decorating the temple commemorating Klinger's Beethoven statue, known as the Beethoven Frieze. This frieze exposes the most peculiar aspect of his personality, that Klimt was extremely sexual. His drawings and sketches were covered in smut. Often, he sketched couples in the process of copulation, or even more so, women touching or exposing themselves.

Close examination of it exposed that even if the subject were to be dressed, he would paint the nude first and often had her posed in some kind of sexual manner. Because of his obvious sexual freedom with his work, Klimt was criticized constantly. Such as in the Beethoven Frieze, critics felt that his works were more suited for decorating someone's pleasure garden rather than commemorating a distinguished man like Beethoven. However, this did not affect Klimt and he persisted as before.

Around 1897, Klimt became the president of a group known as the Secession. The Secession was an organization designed to provide new artists opportunities to show the world their work, to expose Austria to foreign work, and to create their own magazine. In 1898, it had its first exhibition, which was unique in its own right. The exhibition did very well, attracting over fifty-seven thousand visitors and selling ju
