Exhibition on Screen - Klimt and The Kiss
The Kiss by Gustav Klimt, a titan of the Art Nouveau movement, is one of the most recognised, reproduced and loved paintings in the world. Painted in Vienna around 1908, the evocative image of an unknown embracing couple has captivated viewers with its mystery, sensuality and dazzling materials. What lies behind the appeal of the painting – and just who was the artist that created it?
Discover the scandalous life and the rich tapestry of extraordinary influences behind the work. Delving into the details of real gold, decorative designs, symbolism and simmering erotica, a close study of the painting takes us to the remarkable turn of the century Vienna when a new world was battling with the old.
A powerful, gripping and passionate new film from Ali Ray who also directed ‘Frida Kahlo’ and ‘Mary Cassatt – Painting the Modern Woman’
