“I have the gift of neither the spoken nor the written word…”
Gustav Klimt (1862-1918)
Perhaps not, but what the renowned Austrian painter most definitely did have was a gift with both brush and canvas. Long criticized for being too deviant, sensual and erotic, Mr. Klimt´s paintings are now hailed as some of the greatest works of genius ever crafted in Vienna, a city with no shortage of artistic wonders.
“The Kiss” (1908) embodies its creator’s trademark characteristics: Golden paint, symbolism, distinct areas of both detailed and abstract spaces, and the beauty and elegance of the female figure.
Lladró has immortalized in three dimensions this cherished painting in a special, limited edition (1,000 pieces), hand-made and hand-painted figure. It is true that a picture says a thousand words, but the love and tenderness portrayed in this porcelain masterpiece could very well render even Saint Valentine himself without the gift of words, neither spoken nor written.
The ornamental facade seems to hide a pure and almost esoteric feeling of happiness, portrayed in a classic way, nesting in a flower bed. According to the tradition of Jugendstil, these lovers seem to be separated from the world. An impression that is reinforced by the application of gold tones and gold leaf.
