Klimt Paintings
We would all love to hang Picasso or Monet paintings on our walls, but their million dollar price tags put them a bit out of reach for the majority of us. Instead of settling for a print, why not consider the quality handmade oil painting reproductions that are available online.
Of all the Klimt paintings, The Kiss is probably his most famous work. Created during his ‘golden period’, it shows a couple bound up in various shades of gold and symbols, sharing a kiss against a bronze background. The man in the painting dominates the woman, holding her face to bestow the kiss. The woman has a lighter complexion and kneels beneath the man, clutching his neck and hand. The lovers are situated at the edge of a flowered escarpment. The man is wearing neutral colored rectangles and a crown of vines; the woman wears brightly colored tangent circles and flowers in her hair. It has been speculated that the work is a discreet expression of Klimt’s emphasis on eroticism and the liberation that follows. The Kiss is a bit removed from Klimt’s frequent portrayal of women as the lascivious femme fatale. With quality canvas art reproductions you can bring the same beauty into your home, at a tiny fraction of the cost of the original.
