Surprise Kiss Gustav Klimt Vintage Altered Art Cushion

Exclamation point with an overlay of segments of "The Kiss" by Gustav Klimt, 1908. The Kiss was painted by the Austrian Symbolist painter between 1907-08, the highpoint of his Golden Period, when he painted a number of works in a similar gilded style. A perfect square, the canvas depicts a couple embracing, their bodies entwined in elaborate robes decorated in a style influenced by both linear constructs of the contemporary Art Nouveau style and the organic forms of the earlier Arts and Crafts movement. On brown and gold flecked background.
