Location: Österreichische Galerie Belvedere, Vienna Klimt’s extraordinary creative energy, expressive use of line and dominant use of ornament captured the avant-garde spirit that helped develop the abstract aesthetic that followed. In Vienna Sigmund Freud’s (1856–1939) analytical methods of exploring the subconscious were topical and Klimt’s intensely experimental, controversial work explored the subconscious and emotional impulses and desires. The development of Secessionism reflected a profound historical and ideological revolution that characterized the fin-de-siècle. This aesthetic conformed to the European-wide Art Nouveau movement, which sought unity in the applied arts. When Klimt and his colleagues formed the Vienna Secession in 1897 they were announcing a formal separation from the traditional, academic art in favour of highly decorative styles. The man is decorated in the cold colours and geometrical angular patterns that symbolize masculinity the kneeling female is represented in warm colours by swirls and circles, the symbols of femininity. The lovers are encased in an embrace of golden fabric. The Kiss achieves a balance between emotion and ornamentation. Klimt had experimented with using gold in some of his earlier works, such as Pallas Athene (1898) and Judith I (1901), but he now started to use increasingly sumptuous ornamentation on a regular basis. The Kiss (1907–08), possibly Klimt's most famous work, is a shining example of his ‘ golden phase’. One of the founders of the Vienna Secession movement, Gustav Klimt (1862–1918) is often regarded as the greatest painter of the Art Nouveau period.
