Gustav Klimt's creative process was often controversial. He found inspiration in sketching women in unbound, immaterial, and elusive poses—traits he associated with water—and often employed nude models for his preparatory drawings. He also experimented with techniques and contrasting symbols (notice the treatment of the models' bodies and hair) to create works of art across a diverse range of artistic mediums.
