1908 -1909 · Golden period and Viennese modernity
Explore Gustav Klimt's Kiss in its complete composition and through several details painted in oil on canvas.
The peak of the golden period
Klimt paints The Kiss at a time when his ornamental vocabulary is achieving exceptional coherence. The male coat has dark rectangles; the feminine dress is covered with circles and flowers. The two bodies meet at the edge of a flowery meadow, while the golden background removes almost any real place. The selection "The Kiss of Gustav Klimt" notably compares The Kiss and The Kiss - Detail II. Its reading favors details.
The couple does not disappear under the ornament: the motifs make visible the difference, the rapprochement and the unity of the two bodies.
