The sex painter Gustav Klimt was fond of playing
with women, it was well known.
Now and again, you could see two or three models
were hanging about with their underwear or even
naked in his studio. It was said that Klimt
sometimes might stop painting and look for a
model to play sex games to stimulate
his inspirations of painting.
He never married, but there were 14 persons came
out to division his property
2
after his death and claimed that they were all
his illegitimate sons. Although Klimt owned
various women, but there was one woman who stayed
at his side for 27 years long and never left or
forsake. She was Emily.
So, what was the relationship between Klimt and
Emily?
Klimts little brother married Emilys
little sister. They two are also
deeply attached to each other, but their
relationship had not been formalized. Except the
annual vocation at the Atlantis, there was no
direct evidence to prove that they had physical
relationships.
Emily, this incredible woman with beauty,
talent and taste was also the business
partner of Klimt. She and her little sister
opened an avant-garde style clothing store in
Vienna and Klimt designed clothing and jewelry on
behalf of the store. He fully supported Emily to
a fashion designer.
Someone pointed out that, since they were like
husband and wife, why did not they get married?
And the more surprising was that, why he kept
seeking the satisfactions of the sensory organ
from the other women?
Perhaps he was starved of loving but he did not
dare to take responsibilities. Perhaps Emily
was the one he could love but not the
object that he could create lust. Or maybe he
could not entirely affirm his love on her.
Maybe Klimt was not able to promise her a bright
future, but he integrated with her by the
painting The Kiss. It was said that the
elliptical spiral on her clothes was the
symbol of female genitalia and the long
box of the mans clothes was the symbol of
male genitalia.
Klimt was born in an industrial art family his
father was a gold crafter and copperplate
arborist. And his early enthusiasm to decorative
painting and the Byzantine mosaics made him
interested in decorating his paintings with
gold leaf and opened his golden period. The
protagonists were coated by the pupa and totally
immersed in the golden eternal happiness.
Tracing back to 1902, when Klimt made the
painting Beethoven frieze public, he declared
that this was a kiss to the whole world. But when
came to this painting Kiss, his kiss no longer
belonged to the people around the world, it only
belonged to the woman he deeply loved. He
confessed passionately in front of the world- I
love this woman, with this soulful century kiss.
Surprisingly, this painting The Kiss was
not considered as low-level erotic painting
and was bought by the Government of Austria at
its first exhibition. Maybe it turned the
strong passion into praise of divine love
and became

famous.
Emily used her own form to keep this relationship
after the death of Klimt. She remained a Klimt
room with his easel, kimono and hundreds of
sketches in there. But the door was locked up
forever, and only leaving this golden kiss to
witness the golden period of their mysterious
love.
