Description
"The Kiss" is a painting painted by the Austrian artist Gustav Klimt between 1908 and 1909, at the zenith of his "Golden Period", when he painted a large number of works in a similar style and gilding technique.
The canvas depicts a pair of hugged man and woman, dressed in tunics, embellished in both the geometric style characteristic of modern art in the art "art nouveau", as well as the organic shapes of the earlier arts and crafts. The work is filled with oil paints and layers of golden flakes, which gives it a modern yet emotionally rich radiance. The painting is owned by the Austrian Gallery in Belvedere Palace, Vienna, and is widely regarded as one of the masterpieces of early modernism. It is considered to be the most popular work of Klimt and a symbol of Viennese art nouveau or even jugendstil.
"The Kiss" painting is painted shortly after Klimt finishes his three frescoes on the ceiling of the University of Vienna for which he scandals and is criticized as "pornography" and "perverse incongruity." These works capture the artist's glory of L'enfant terrible for his anti-authoritarian and anti-populist views of art. On this occasion he writes: "If you can not satisfy everyone with your works and art, try to satisfy just a few" - quote from Friedrich von Schiller, who Klimt drew on his 1899 painting "Nuda Veritas" the truth "). Unlike the frescoes series, "The Kiss" is enthusiastic and immediately finds a buyer.
