Mostly paintings. His major works include paintings, murals, sketches, and other art objects. Klimt's primary subject was the female body and his works are marked by a frank eroticism.

So-called 'Austrian Symbolist' style. I don't particularly care for his work myself, but it was a fore-runner to the coming Art Nouveau style, which I do like, so I suppose he helped get us there.
