"The Lady in Gold: The Extraordinary Tale of Gustav Klimt's Masterpiece, Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer"

The Lady in Gold: The Extraordinary Tale of Gustav Klimt's Masterpiece, Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer


The first ~100 pages are classic. Then the rest goes down as the Second World War entered the book. Vienna around the turn of the century was historical. Mark Twain's activity during the period carried a perspective never seen before. Everybody else seemed a bit psycho or neurotic in certain ways.

I thought more lay-in of philosophy, therefore allowing the book to transcend the gold milieu of the chapters a bit, should make the book more lasting and intellectually adorable.
