From the Toledo Museum of Art:
When not creating paintings for exhibitions and commissions, Gustav Klimt produced over 4,000 personal drawings and sketches. His drawings were frequently highly erotic—even graphic and sexually taboo—in nature. In them Klimt often rejected the decorativeness and detail of his paintings, working instead in a looser and more minimal style. The 15 drawings presented in this publication of Lucian’s Dialogue of Greek Courtesans, chosen by translator and publisher Franz Blei (who, as a writer, was known for eroticism in his work as well), are virtually unrelated to the text, as the dialogue discusses the role of courtesans (i.e. prostitutes) in society. Klimt’s drawings instead portray female eroticism in varying degrees of explicitness, a subject that would bring him notoriety and complaints of obscenity.
