The painting "The Kiss", which has become one of the most famous creations of the artist and is included in the national treasures of Austria, Klimt painted in the "golden period" of his work. He, already an accomplished and wealthy artist, who so sensually, sincerely and talentedly conveys the depth of a woman's soul in his works, in this picture revealed all the mystery, complexity and charm of the relationship between a man and a woman.
For me, this picture is not as romantic as it might seem at first glance, and in general it is not about the imperious domination of a man over a woman, as it can also be seen and interpreted. For me, it is about trust, deep feeling, sensitivity, frugality in the attitude of a man to a woman and a woman to a man. I don't see insane passion and unbridled sexual energy here. But I see here a sincere closeness and spiritual acceptance of each other.
The woman has open feet, which at first glance seem to hang down into the abyss, and it may seem that only a man is holding her, and also that she is completely in his power. But if you look closely, you can clearly see that she is firmly resting on the ground with her knees and fingers, and even moving her (without her consent) will not be so easy. If she obeys (nevertheless, the man rises above her), it is only because she wants it and completely trusts him. At the same time, her face is calm and peaceful.
I even fantasize that with his bent legs (they are not visible, but otherwise he could not have settled down next to her) a man gives a woman additional support, at the same time, leaning on her stable posture himself.
With her beautiful hands, a woman seems to be feeding on to grab the bends of her beloved's hand, and he very carefully and tremblingly (and yes, at the same time imperiously, as befits a man) holds her head.
Although what is due to whom, and who should whom and how, this is a completely different story and in each pair it will look different.
Here everything is captured only a single moment, the only moment of these relations, but this moment is full of special magnetism, harmony, tranquility and greatness.
Also very about masculine and feminine ornaments of their clothes. In men, this is clarity, planning, directness, and maybe even some harshness and categoricalness. In women it is emotionality, sensitivity, sensuality, immediacy … They are different … But they also have similar elements. And it can be about tenderness, and about feeling, and about trepidation, and about the infinity of time and space …
She is very fragile, feminine, but with an inner resilience that gives her the ability to lean and give support. He is stronger than her, he dominates, but does not press, but gently and gently holds her in his arms, as if protecting her.
They are together on the edge … But perhaps this is the meaning of love, relationships, intimacy. That is, they are not afraid to take a risk together and surrender to feelings, dreams and that very moment, because if both can rely on themselves, then they can rely on each other …
Such is it for me, this amazing and inspiring picture.
And what is this picture for you, dear readers? Please share …
