Gustav Klimt The Kiss Art Print

Gustav Klimt The Kiss Art Nouveau Jugendstil Gold ~ The Kiss was painted by the Austrian Symbolist painter Gustav Klimt between 1907 and 1908, the highpoint of his “Golden Period”, when he painted a number of works in a similar gilded style. A perfect square, the canvas depicts a couple embracing, their bodies entwined in elaborate robes decorated in a style influenced by both linear constructs of the contemporary Art Nouveau style and the organic forms of the earlier Arts and Crafts movement. The work is composed of oil paint with applied layers of gold leaf, an aspect that gives it its strikingly modern, yet evocative appearance. The painting is widely considered a masterpiece of the early modern period. It is a symbol of Vienna Jugendstil (Viennese Art Nouveau) and is considered Klimt’s most popular work.

Gustav Klimt Hope I

1903 Fine Art Painting
The unusual subject and its formal rendition created critical perplexity, so much so that, in order for Klimt to exhibit this work, he had to give it a religious interpretation. The pregnancy theme had already been present in one of the artist’s figures in Medicine and the Beethoven Frieze. In 1907-08 Klimt will paint a second version, Hope II, this time with the pregnant woman wearing a highly stylised and geometric dress.
