How are Gustav Klimt's paintings related to his country of origin(Austria)?

Question

I am doing an art project at college on Gustav Klimt the famous painter. I have looked at many websites but none have the answer. Thanks

Answer 1

His later works where mostly landscape paintings, he stayed at the Attersee (a lake inUpperaustria) in the summers from 1900 to 1916 at the house of a friend. I think it's in a town called Seewalchen, I've seen it a few times, it's a beautiful old house that gets called the 'Klimt mansion'. He painted the landscapes he saw there.
