SUMMARY:Exhibition on Screen – Klimt and The Kiss
DESCRIPTION:The Kiss by Gustav Klimt is one of the most recognized and reproduced paintings in the world. Painted in Vienna in 1908\, the evocative image of an unknown embracing couple has captivated viewers with its mystery\, sensuality and dazzling materials. \nDuring his lifetime\, Klimt was both a controversial and a much-admired artist\, who dominated the art scene. Born in 1862\, Gustav Klimt was a titan of the Art Nouveau movement creating decadent new worlds which merged tender sensuality\, ancient mythology and radical modernity. The often-scandalous work of his “Golden Period”\, created by using a unique method that let him apply natural\, wafer-thin gold leaf onto canvas\, produced some of his most renowned works\, including the timeless symbol of beauty and artistic expression\, the iconic masterpiece THE KISS. \nStepping into a world of passion and emotion the powerful and gripping new film KLIMT & THE KISS from director Ali Ray (‘Frida Kahlo’\, ‘Mary Cassatt – Painting the Modern Woman’) explores this masterpiece that captures the essence of love and the human experience so well. The film delves into the details of the real gold\, decorative designs\, symbolism and simmering erotica\, and exams the rich tapestry of extraordinary influences behind one of the world’s favorite paintings which is on display at the Belvedere Museum in Vienna\, Austria.
