The Kiss, Gustav Klimt, Man and Woman Hugging Statue
The strong bond between woman and man (c. 1907) is eloquently illustrated by the famous 20th-century artist, Gustav Klimt. His paintings are giant allegorical canvases which mix linear construction and rich colours regularly illustrating an entire world of attractive ladies and nudes against a bejeweled background.
The decorative facade seems to hide a pure, almost esoteric, sense of felicity, portrayed in a classical demeanour, nestling in a bed of flowers. Two figures are located at the edge of a flowered escarpment. The man is wearing neutral colored rectangles and a crown of vines; the girl wears brightly colored tangent circles and flowers in her hair. The couple's embrace is enveloped by triangular vining and a veil of concentric circles.
In accordance with the Jugendstil practice, these lovers appear to be detached from the planet. An impression that's strengthened by the applying of shades of gold and gold leaf.
Parastone, a renowned European collectible figurine manufacturer, has masterfully brought to life this legendary immortal painting of "The Kiss" by Art Nouveau master artist Gustav Klimt, as a complex 3D statue adaptation in the best detail, and can be seen under the Alternative Works section of this art web site which specializes in historical reproductions of famous works.
Gustav Klimt (1862-1918) was an outstanding member of a pioneering group of artists called "Sezession" and is widely thought to be one of the main forerunners of modern art. Apart from this, his ornamental Jugendstil style evokes an irresistible feeling which is electrified by the "fin-de-siecle" of 19th century Vienna: elitist, liberal-middle class, decadent, and pleasantly-decorative. His work is extremely familiar thanks to his huge style combined with Byzantine-like decorative art and classical symbolism, made against the background of romanticism which was so characteristic of his time.
In Sezession's own words: "Art guides us to the ultimate realm, the only place where we're going to be capable of finding complete joy, pure contentment and pure love. A choir of angels from paradise. Joy given by divine glints. That kiss from the whole world!"
