Write a 250- to 350-word essay comparing Klimt’s image to Rodin's statue The Kiss and/or Munch's painting The Kiss.

hello love,

Explanation:

Both Gustave Klimt and Edward Munch display two people kissing. Although one is a statue and the other an oil painting on a canvas, much's painting depicts a couple surrounded by darkness with only a sliver of light shining through an opening in the curtain. they seem to merge into each other as their faces became one in the painting. in contrast to Gustave's painting, the images are relatively clear and separate, and due to it being a sculpture it does not have a background like munch's painting the kiss. while Gustave's statue is primarily one color, Edwards is a mix of many different colors and tones. Due to Edward long list of health issues he never married, thus the painting was made when Edward was sad and was meant to show the love that he never got the chance to experience. While Edward was painting about the love that he yearned for, Gustave made a statue for the girl that people have said he'd only ever met once at the Beethoven exhibit. He was so fascinated by her he made multiple works of art featuring her. In conclusion, both of the works of art are beautiful and carry sentimental value to them, just one was made from sadness while the other made from a fascination to a beautiful woman in his eyes.

The Kiss by Gustav Klimt is probably one of the most recognized works of art around the world. Installed in a cavernous dark room in Vienna’s Belvedere Castle the painting hangs alone on a vast wall, flanked by heavy burgundy drapes, like an altarpiece in its own cathedral. It’s become an iconic representation of love and lovers. It has inspired many reproductions, homages and adorned countless mugs, shower curtains, umbrellas, coasters and tea serving sets – a development sure to cause major concern to the artist were he ever to witness it.Klimt painted The Kiss between 1907 and 1908 in his studio in Vienna. The painting represents the classic Vienna Secession style and is considered a signature Klimt with all the graphic attributes we’d expect. In it Klimt depicts his personal life – the woman is Emilie Flöge, Klimt’s sister in law and muse, who was also widely considered to have been his lover – but also makes a direct reference to an 1897 painting by Edvard Munch of the same title (left). Going back even further both paintings were inspired by Rodin’s sculpture. While Munch’s painting reflects his personal demons, showing the couple against a heavy dark background, their faces merged into a featureless blank outline, Klimt’s version is much more romantic yet no less passionate.
