Klimt The Kiss

The Kiss was painted by Gustav Klimt and is his most famous work. When The Kiss was painted Klimt was 45 and lived at home with his mom and two unmarried sisters. Some say that he was a man with a "ferocious sexual appetite." He was supposedly obsessed by women, especially redheads. The focus of the painting is a couple locked in embrace. The rest of the painting is shimmering, extravagant flat pattering.
