Which oil painting of Gustav Klimt do you think is most passionate?

Question

I was looking through an online gallery of Gustav Klimt: http://www.overstockart.com/klimtga... I am looking for a painting that would symbolize passion. Klimt has so much passion and I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions as to which painting to pick?

Answer 1

Looking at the pictures displayed on the site you mention, the painting that comes closest to any passion, seems to be the 'Death & Life', although it seems almost as systematic and intellectual as some of the better-known paintings. 

He does seem particularly excited about the 'Woman with a Fan', though.

Answer 2

When you consider Klimt as an artist of passion, it is his drawings that you need to look at. Here is one:

As far as his oil paintings are concerned, I would nominate "Judith and Holofernes" which you can see here, for the femme fatale quality of this painting:
