The Kiss (Klimt)
''The Kiss'' (Lovers) was painted by the Austrian Symbolist painter Gustav Klimt between 1908 and 1909, 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 now in the Österreichische Galerie Belvedere museum in the Belvedere palace, Vienna, and 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.〔Partsch, 267, 276〕
==Background==
It was painted soon after his three-part ''Vienna Ceiling'' series which created a scandal and were criticized as both 'pornography' and evidence of 'perverted excess'. The works had recast the artist as an ''enfant terrible'' for his anti-authoritarian and anti-popularist views on art. He wrote, "If you can not please everyone with your deeds and your art, please a few".〔Inscribed on the reverse of the 1899 ''Nuda Veritas''. See Schwartz, 29〕 By contrast, ''The Kiss'' was enthusiastically received, and immediately found a buyer.〔Partsch, 267〕
