At the end of the 19th century, Klimt showed off his aspect as an innovator by creating an empty faction and declaring that he would "separate" himself from the existing Austrian art world following past styles, but his inspiration came not from the future, but from ancient and early medieval art. Klimt is more of an innovative artist than anyone else and the most questionable artist at the same time. Klimt's paintings capture a third time and space, neither the past nor the future, and they catch our eyes with a 'personality that does not resemble anyone'. In his drawing room, there are records from his junior Egonsile that there were two Chinese paintings and a Japanese woodcut painting by Ukiyoe. Klimt was always afraid of death. You can see his fear through his painting "Death and Life". Klimt put his heart and soul into "Death and Life" at the Leopold Museum of Art, taking more than five years to complete. Klimt was the style to refine his concept by making several sketches and then draw in earnest. Eventually, "The Bride" ended up incomplete, leaving 140 sketches.
