According to the writer Frank Whitford: "Klimt of course, is an important artist—he's a very ''popular'' artist—but in terms of the history of art, he's a very unimportant artist. Although he sums up so much in his work, about the society in which he found himself—in art historical terms his effect was negligible. So he's an artist really in a cul-de-sac."<ref>Whitford, speaking on ''The Kiss: The Private Life of a Masterpiece'', BBC TV</ref> Klimt's work had a strong influence on the paintings of [[Egon Schiele]], with whom he would collaborate to found the ''Kunsthalle'' (Hall of Art) in 1917, to try to keep local artists from going abroad. Artists who reinterpreted Klimt's work include [[Slovaks|Slovak]] artist [[Rudolf Fila]].<ref>{{Cite book |title=Fila interpretatio Klimt |last1=Fila |last2=Michalovič |first1=Rudolf |first2=Peter |publisher=Slovak Art |date=2007 |isbn=9788080852979}}</ref>
