Personally I like them, but am left wondering if he ever really mastered light & shade.
Indeed, I'm not sure he ever really needed to, based on his main body of work.

He did, just didn't stylistically utilize it. Like Picasso abandoning all traditional techniques despite being an expert at it
Do you know of any particular examples? (of Klimt's light & shadow work)
Doesn't look that much surreal to me!
I've never seen these Klimt birch works.
Thank you.
Dear lord, Klimt’s stuff is unsettling. (Most of it)
