| The primal forces of sexuality, regeneration, love and death form the dominant themes of Klimt's work. In "The Kiss", Klimt's best known work, figures float dreamlike in space, wrapped in an abstracted mosaic robe that veils graceful contours. The rhythmic flowing line and organic form of Klimts unparalleled paintings became a powerful influence on the Art Nouveau movement. |
