Gustave Klimt is another one of my favorite artists. Here is one of his paintings, called "The Kiss". What I love about him is the unbelievable texture of his work. They exist as if only to shed light and inspire subtle motion. I love the way the people disappear into the colors, the way they seem to blend in, to incorporate their movements into the brilliance, and one can only see that which is pure expression - their faces, hands, feet… The blinding mosaic is their blanket, and they are embraced and enhanced by it. How beautiful… Light and color as only a through the true artist’s eye.
