Montblanc's Masters of Art Homage to Gustav Klimt Limited Edition 4810 celebrates his artistic beginnings in the Vienna Secession and highlights elements from his masterpieces Pallas Athene and The Kiss. In his rebellion against stereotypical concepts in both art and society, Gustav Klimt was a pioneer of the avant-garde. He combined realistic representation, ornamentation and abstraction in a style that reached its culmination in his large-format, subtly sensual paintings of women. One of his first paintings to place equal value on the ornament and the sitter was a portrait from 1902 of his partner and muse Emilie Flöge, depicted in a dreamy and mystical blue. The blue shade on the rollerball pen was inspired by Gustav Klimt's painting 'The Kiss'. The circles, swirls, triangles and lines shimmering through the translucent blue lacquer of the rollerball pen are inspired by the two lovers that seem to dissolve into ornamental, geometric forms through the power of emotion.

Trimmed with yellow gold-coated hammered metal, the cap and barrel of this Montblanc limited edition rollerball pen make effective use of complementary colours in reference to the famous works of Gustav Klimt's Golden Phase, including Adele Bloch-Bauer I, the Stoclet Frieze and The Kiss. Klimt used a new technique to enrich his colours with individual sections of gold leaf, creating the impression of precious stones set in gold. In the Limited Edition 4810, the yellow gold-coated hammered cone is set with a synthetic green spinel, the colour evoking spring, the season of new beginnings.

Klimt's Secession monogram, a gold-coloured tampon print of his initials, GK, refers to his achievements for the Vienna Secession. The clip of the Homage to Gustav Klimt Limited Edition 4810 is specially designed regarding Gustav Klimt’s Pallas Athene. Since Athena is the goddess of warfare and the arts, she is depicted as launching the struggle for artistic freedom. The slightly curved lines ending in three spirals on the yellow gold-coated clip correspond to the decoration on the forged metal frame.
