I heard this on Radio 4 yesterday:
13:30
The Kiss at 100
Rowan Pelling visits Vienna to explore the enduring appeal of Gustav Klimt's The Kiss, which has become one of the world's most reproduced paintings since it was first exhibited 100 years ago. Who are the couple depicted in the famous clinch?and was amazed, since it is obviously extremely famous, that I had never heard of, nor seen, this painting before.
According to the programme, most people have (or have had in the past) a print of it - even if it was just a postcard on the wall when you were a student. Well, years ago, I had postcards of famous paintings all over my walls but none were of The Kiss.
How about you?
yes, I do indeed have a poster of it....and it's a LONG time since I was a student!!!!
