Austria’s most prominent member of the Vienna Secession movement, Gustav Klimt (1862-1918) had everyone raving about his famous golden technique in creating work of art back in the early part of the 1900’s. He made a series of paintings using various shades and hues of gold. They called this Klimt’s Golden Phase.
One of his highly acclaimed paintings is called “The Kiss” which he painted in 1907. It depicted a couple in an embrace sharing a kiss. What makes it so unique is the play of different shades of gold against a backdrop of bronze. A vision of rectangle, flowers and tangent circles are evident in the couple’s clothes. A reproduction in canvas can be found in our online gallery.
Gustav Klimt has been known to be fond of the female nude form as the subject of his paintings. His works almost always convey an element of eroticism that would reflect love and passion. “The Kiss” is a great example of using art in expressing his thoughts. There are some art historians who believe that the painting is of him and Emilie Floge, his lovely companion.
