The surname is wrong in the title, it should be Klint, not Klimt. It's an interesting read however, although I'm no art expert by any means, I've always liked abstract paintings as they have a sort of liberating effect on my mind where the imagination in some cases can run completely it's own course.

And Klimt of course was a very different artist, not particularly abstract unless you count the decorative elements, and very, very male.
Which makes the slip in the title here a bit poignant, as a lot of people think it was gender bias that kept af Klint out of the art canon for so long.
