The Kiss by Gustav Klimt is the Austrian’s most famous oil painting from a long and distinguished career. This article examines why The Kiss is respected as Klimt‘s best painting and what other of his works art lovers choose to buy as reproductions around the world. All the other great Klimt paintings will be included to make this a thorough study of his career, for those who only know of The Kiss and wish to find out more about Klimt‘s others.
Other famous painting by Klimt have spanned right across his career, with the best including the likes of Beethoven Frieze, Adele Bloch-Bauer I, Judith and the Head of Holofernes, Danaë, Mäda Primavesi, Death And Life, Tree Of Life, Mother And Child, Pallas Athene, Forest Birch Trees, Three Ages Of Woman, Music and Johanna Staude.
Klimt‘s earliest paintings differed from those that he is now best known for. They were commonly more traditional works based on more natural subjects rather than fantasy based portraits which became more frequent later on. The depictions of female sexuality and complex myriads of colour and boldness were combinations which appeared as he grew in strength and confidence as well as creativity. Like most artists, development came experience. This came from his travels around Europe and also from his socialising with other Austrian artists in and around Vienna.
In conclusion, whilst The Kiss remains Gustav Klimt‘s most famous painting, it is only one of a number of high quality oil paintings from a career of distinguished achievement and legacy. Those who follow art with interest are well aware of a large number of his works and understand his achievements beyond that work. The Kiss can be seen as the pinnacle and spearhead of a considerable career rather than a sole high point in a flurry of mixed media.
