RE: ADSactly Culture - The Ten Most Famous Paintings of All Time (Part I)
In your comment you walked not only through the characteristic of Klimt's painting, but also through one of the great myths behind this work. In fact, there are those who say that the woman in the painting may be an old lover of the artist. In short, the interesting thing about all this is the infinite amount of stories that can be woven behind the artist and his work. It would be interesting to make a post with only those stories and curiosities. Thank you for commenting, @aydogdy
When I look at the picture "The Kiss", I see how a man has a pronounced overriding function - he towers over his beloved, at the same time protecting and dominating. The kneeling pose of the girl shows us a subordinate state, although the man himself is also kneeling. Moreover, despite the intimacy of the moment, the viewer does not have the sensation of spying - the characters are not hiding from anyone. Their image is characterized by some kind of an imperviously simple mortal cosmic state, where only they exist, immersed in each other.
