The Kiss, Love Couple ( Der Kuss, Liebespaar ) by Gustav Klimt, 1908 - 1909, is one of those works of art in art history that almost everyone knows. The work, which falls under the Art Nouveau, or Jugendstil and Wiener Sesession movement, is decorative and ornate in nature.
With this digital artwork, in the form of a collage, I bring Klimt's kiss into evening light. In a playful way, sparks fly off as the man and woman are depicted somewhere high on the rocks, under the starry sky.
The painting is transformed into the night, and the woman is colored by the warmth of the kiss. At the bottom we find playful elements, such as paint splatters and zebra stripes, to ground and contrast the work.
The original, with gold as the main color, has given way to a more contrasting whole with clear warm cold contrast in foreground and background.
The original of this work can be found digitally under https://sammlung.belvedere.at/objects/6678/der-kuss-liebespaar?# Inv.-Nr. 912
and can be seen in Museum Belvedere in Vienna.
