The Kiss by Gustav Klimt - On Canvas

Klimt is a curious and elegant synthesis of Symbolism and Art Nouveau. The primal forces of sexuality, regeneration, love, and death form the dominant themes of Klimt's work. The Kiss celebrates the attraction of the sexes. A man leaning over and kissing a kneeling woman, all shrouded in symbolically patterned gold with a bed of flowers below them. The Kiss is a fascinating icon of the loss of self that lovers experience. Only the faces and hands of this couple are visible; all the rest is great swirl of gold, studded with colored rectangles as if to express visually the emotional and physical explosion of erotic love.

Through a detailed, multi-step process, color is actually stripped from traditional lithographic prints and then carefully hand applied to artist grade canvas, thus allowing even the subtlest brushstroke to become vibrant. This allows our canvas fine art replicas to surpass most reproductions available on the market today, ensuring a visual experience amazingly comparable to the original.
