Gustav KlimtThe Kiss

year of creation: 1907-1908
type: oil and gold flakes on canva
size: 180x180 cm
place: Österreichische Galerie Belvedere, Vienna

"The Kiss" crowns the so-called golden period in the painter's oeuvre. Expressive symbolism, rich ornamentation and a tribute to sensual pleasures are the essence of this work. Klimt himself did not shy away from these pleasures either. Although he shared his life with his long-time partner and muse Emilie Flöge, the Austrian painter had numerous affairs with different women and had a total of seven children from different relationships. He was also said to have had impeccable manners, with which he effortlessly captivated women.

Three-dimensional depth of image

Screw Art is made up of thousands of screws which, screwed close together into a fir board but at different depths, create an extraordinary three-dimensional sculptural relief. Each of the 70,000 screw heads becomes a tiny steel canvas for the artists. The multitude of colours, clever design, fascinating chiaroscuro, and masterful precision give the works, inspired by the works of the great masters, a new dimension. Industrial screws turn out to be a graceful material in the hands of the young talents, and the steel rawness is transformed into delicate paintings.
