What is The Kiss? - Klimt's Golden Style
"The Kiss" is an oil painting by Austrian painter Gustav Klimt, painted between 1907 and 1908. It is Klimt's masterpiece and represents the pinnacle of his "Golden Style", a decorative style that makes extensive use of gold leaf. It is currently housed in the Austrian Gallery Belvedere in Vienna.
This work depicts a man and woman kneeling in a flower field, embracing each other and kissing deeply. The man embraces the woman tenderly, and the woman surrenders herself to the man. The bodies of the two are covered in gorgeous costumes decorated with geometric and floral patterns, and gold leaf is used lavishly in the background. With the brilliance of the gold leaf and its two-dimensional decorativeness, Klimt has created a fantastical and symbolic space that is different from the real world.
