Theme: Love

The Kiss by Gustav Klimt

Describe: The painting is two people who are on the edge of a hilltop or cliff. There is one man and one woman and the man seems or be kissing the woman's cheek.

Analyze: The foreground of the painting is a green hill too that has bursts of color in the form of flowers. In the mid ground there are two brightly colored people hugging each other. The colors and style of the peoples clothes makes it seem as if the people are blending in with the hills and nature. The

Interpret: The two people blending into the hill makes me think that the artist is showing that the people are one with nature and that love is natural and pure just like the earth. I also think the muggy backdrop shows that these two people are totally involved in each other and that they don't care about the world around them. They only care about each other. In addition, I think that the fact that his head in buried in her neck shows that love is blind.

background of the painting is a more dull and muggy yellow.
