But first, I enjoyed the drawings by Gustav Klimt. He was born in Vienna in 1862 and is famous for "The Kiss" and beautiful paintings of women. The exhibit is Gustav Klimt The Magic of Line and displays some of his hundreds which he practiced every day. The notes state that four thousand of Klimt's drawings survive. It was through drawing that he develped his themes of human suffering, longing for love and happiness and the cycle of life from birth to death. He died in 1918 a victim of the plague that sweaped through Europe after WWI.
After roaming though the Klimt exhibit, I re appreciated the beauty of The Getty
