"The kiss"

Gustave Klimt (i) - Art Nouveau (i)

A Love Story in Gold and Silver

Gustav Klimt's The Kiss is one of the most famous and beloved paintings from the Art Nouveau period. Painted in 1907, at the height of his "Golden Period", this rich oil painting with added platinum, silver, and gold leaf depicts a couple wrapped in a loving embrace against a flat golden background. The two figures are situated at the edge of a patch of flowery meadow that ends under the woman's exposed feet.

A Controversial Artist

Klimt was born in Vienna in 1862 and had an Avant-Garde approach to art. He was a member of the Vienna Secession, a group of artists who rebelled against the conservative academic style of the time. Klimt's work often caused controversy due to its erotic and sensual themes, but it also gained him a large following and made him one of the most prominent artists of his time.

The Art Nouveau Movement

Art Nouveau was an international style of art, architecture, and applied arts that emerged in the late 19th century. It was characterized by its use of organic forms, asymmetry, and decorative patterns. The Kiss is a perfect example of this style, with its flowing lines, geometric patterns, and floral motifs.

A Celebrated Example of Art Nouveau

The Kiss is an incredibly significant piece for several reasons. Not only is it one of Klimt's most revered paintings, but it is also a celebrated example of the Art Nouveau movement. It was exhibited in 1908 under the title Liebespaar (the lovers) as stated in the catalogue of the exhibition and has since become an iconic symbol of love and passion.
