The Kiss Painting
The Kiss Painting by Gustav Klimt is a famous work from an exceptional Austrian artist, who produced many other paintings besides The Kiss. Many art lovers buy The Kiss as a reproduction, even today, because of the beauty surrounding the work and it's theme of romance and fantasy.
Prints, posters and paintings regularly sell around the world thanks to the success of the Viennese art movements of that era, which included other artists besides Gustav Klimt.
Klimt's paintings such as The Kiss appear in galleries all over the world and many have been returned to his beloved Austria and Vienna, where Klimt studied and toiled for many years before achieving his deserved success. The Museum of Applied Arts and the Belvedere have key collections of Klimt's paintings. The Kiss can be found as reproductions in homes across the world.
The Kiss painting represents to many the struggle of passion and love. The faces and hands of this couple are visible, intertwined beautifully. The rest of the painting in the Kiss is great whirlwind of gold, studded with colored rectangles as if to express visually the emotional and physical explosion of erotic love.
Gustav Klimt regularly travelled abroad in order to develop his painting skills, and spread the name surrounding his career. Among his destinations was Belgium and Italy as the Secession Movement began to build up a reputation across Europe. One mansion commissioned several murals and he explored the artistic history of Italy looking for further inspiration. "Water Snakes" itself was created around this time, 1904, which is another of his most famous paintings.
The blurred, fantastical edges between The Kiss painting's lovers and extravagent use of colour, style and bold technique by Gustav Klimt has made The Kiss an extraordinary painting, with close ties to the Art Nouveau and Modernist art styles, and reminding one of the works of French artist Edgar Degas.
