 Gustav Klimt, The Kiss

sent by Nicole in Vienna

Gustav Klimt (1862 – 1918) was an Austrian symbolist painter and one of the most prominent members of the Vienna Secession movement. Klimt is noted for his paintings, murals, sketches, and other objets d'art. Klimt's primary subject was the female body, and his works are marked by a frank eroticism. The Kiss (Lovers) by Gustav Klimt is the most famous Austrian painting and the highlight of the permanent collection at the Upper Belvedere. It shows a couple swathed in richly embellished robes embracing in a meadow of flowers on the brink of a precipice. The painting dates from 1907/08 at the height of Klimt’s “Golden Period”..

Gustav Klimt (1862 - 1918) oli itävaltalainen symbolistinen taidemaalari ja yksi Wienin art nouveau -taidesuuntauksen kärkihahmoja. Hänen töilleen ovat tunnusomaisia kullanväriset taustat sekä mosaiikkimainen pinnan täyttö. Aikanaan hänen eroottiset ja symbolistiset maalauksensa aiheuttivat myös paljon kohua ja kritiikkiä. Klimtin tunnetuimpia töitä ovat Suudelma ja Kultainen Adele.
