Notes About The Poem

The Kiss Footle

his kiss
                   fair bliss

             mosaic
             deltaic

            bronze prints
            warm tints


                   love flowed
                        in gold

Notes: The Kiss (Lovers) by Gustav Klimt is the most famous Austrian painting and the highlight of the permanent collection at the Upper Belvedere.The painting dates from 1907/08 at the height of Klimt’s “Golden Period” when the artist developed a new technique of combining gold leaf with oils and bronze paint.(photo and info credits to belvedere.com)
