The Kiss - Gustav Klimt
This is Gustav Klimt's most popular work. He painted this work between 1907 and 1908, at the height of his golden period. The work presents a couple embracing, hidden under a huge golden sheet that gives a dimension of eternity to the couple that it encloses and protects: on the side of the man, we observe symbols of strength, virility and masculinity; on the side of the woman, Klimt presents rather symbols of femininity and motherhood.

Born into a family of artisans, Gustav Klimt (1862 - 1918) entered the School of Decorative Arts in Vienna at the age of 14 and learned painting and mosaics. The Viennese artist began as a decorative painter on bourgeois villas. In love with art, he gets closer to the symbolist circles and wishes to promote modern art. Dreaming of reconciling painting and architecture, his status as a craftsman prevented him from being recognized as a full-fledged artist, as a barrier existed between the decorative arts and the arts considered as major. Revolted by this state of affairs, Klimt joined the Secessionist group in 1887 and even became its president, eager to promote Viennese art on an international level. An artist who was as much criticized as he was renowned, he moved away from the decorative arts towards the end of his life and turned to Fauvism, which he considered avant-garde.
