All the other great Klimt paintings will be included to make this a thorough study of his career, for those who only know of The Kiss and wish to find out more about Klimt's others.

The kiss was painted in 1907 when klimt was 45 and this period also is his Golden Period. It depicts a couple, in various shades of gold and symbols, sharing a kiss against a bronze background. Behind the respectable facade Klimt was a man with a ferocious sexual appetite. he had a fixation with redheads. It is no surprise that the woman in The Kiss has red hair. In The Kiss, Klimt depicted a couple locked in an embrace. The rest of the painting dissolves into shimmering, extravagant flat patterning. This patterning has clear ties to Art Nouveau and to the Arts and Crafts movement and also evokes the conflict between two- and three-dimensionality intrinsic to Degas paintings and other modernists.

There are many debates about who is the girl in the painting, some think she is Klimt beloved companion Emilie Flöge, also many people say that she was a model called 'Red Hilda.' There is strong visual evidence that she is the model for 'Woman with feather boa' , 'Goldfish' and 'Danaë'. She told her nephew that she was the woman in 'The Kiss'. Nothing is certain.

Klimt's earliest paintings differed from those that he is now best known for. They were commonly more traditional works based on more natural subjects rather than fantasy based portraits which became more frequent later on. The depictions of female sexuality and complex myriads of colour and boldness were combinations which appeared as he grew in strength and confidence as well as creativity. Like most artists, development came experience. This came from his travels around Europe and also from his socialising with other Austrian artists in and around Vienna.

In a word, The Kiss is a discreet expression of Klimt emphasis on eroticism and the liberation therein. The Kiss falls in line with Klimt抯 exploration of fulfillment and the redeeming, transformative power of love and art.
