Gustav Klimt’s “Katze”

The Symbolist painter Gustav Klimt was said to adore his cat, Katze, with an intensity that famously rivaled his interest in women! This purr-fect companion clearly held a special place in the heart of the master of opulence and sensuality. He was known as the “crazy cat lady” of the art world, he let cats roam his studio freely, despite the chaos and damage they wrought.
