The Kiss (Lovers) (1909) | Gustav Klimt | Painting Art Print | Wall Frame
Love, intimacy, and sexuality are common themes found in Gustav Klimt's works.The Stoclet Frieze and the Beethoven Frieze are such examples of Klimt's focus on romantic intimacy. Both works are precursors to The Kiss and feature the recurring motif of an embracing couple.
It is thought that Klimt and his companion Emilie Flöge modeled for the work, but there is no evidence or record to prove this. Others suggest the female was the model known as 'Red Hilda'; she bears strong resemblance to the model in his Woman with feather boa, Goldfish and Danaë.
Klimt himself made no statement on the subject. Many suspect that it is a self-portrait of the artist together with his lifelong partner, Emilie Flöge. Emilie Flöge was a confident, modern woman who ran a successful fashion salon in Vienna together with her sisters. She was by Klimt's side in all official outings.
