These designs are all designed by a textile designer, Gustav Klimt. You will probably have a hard task trying to find a textile designer that does not admire Gustav Klimt. Actually the textile designer is equals to the graphic designers. The only difference between them is the style of expression. We can use the screen printer to print it on the textile. Or take the digital textile printer in use. In fact, the screen printing is more prevalent in our daily life.
Klimt has a natural affinity towards textiles. There is pattern and ornamentation everywhere, very often including the frame that holds the canvas. This love of pattern came naturally to Klimt. He was intimately involved with the Wiener Werkstatte and was even known to design both textiles and costumes.
This, of course, has led to problems with Klimt's position within the art world. He is not universally held in such high esteem outside the textile world. The art world loves to categorise, even though they pretend to abhor such narrow categorisations. Because of Klimt's close association with the Wiener Werkstatte, he is sometimes seen as more of a craftsman or decorative artist rather than a fine artist.
It is a problem to many, particularly when steeped in the 'less is more' attitudes of the Twentieth century, to dispassionately judge a Klimt painting without reference to pattern, decoration or ornamentation. These three words are an integral part of the artwork, or design work, if you'd rather, but they are also words that can be used negatively and very often, in Klimt's case, were.
Setting aside the issue of whether his paintings were pornographic, which in turn of the century Vienna was a major factor in the criticism of his work, many saw 'art' and 'decorative art' as two very different mediums.
Klimt was keen to see a breaking down of the barriers between these two mediums, and in his own way he was very successful, but his success was largely limited to himself. He did not really give birth to a movement and had no real followers.
His work is seen today more as an interesting window on the last days of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It represents a world that would be swept away by the First World War, never to be seen again.
