I went to some friends' house last week and I was happy to see some reproductions of Klimt's work. I was pointing at one and insisting that the painting is called women or girls, and my friend says it was the virgin. I didn't argue, no point.
I googled just now and found that it is in fact called The Girls (The Virgin). I think this qualifies as a tie. Hahahaha.
Anyway, the reason that I am writing an entry is that I almost forgot about The Kiss. (No, I was not kissing someone that day). I first saw it in a calendar and somehow, I didn't get the name of the artist--master or the painting. It was only when I saw the reproductions alongside each other that I made the connection (I know, "good work, genius", right?).

It was kind of cool how finally I know the name of a work that I liked which image almost got lost in my head through time.

In its day, this particular painting was considered really hot stuff (old world porn). Posting this shows you have class. I for one am impressed. I always suspected you had class and now I know. Before you say it, I didn't know the artist. I aint that old.
PS - Does posting this make your blog an asian porn site?
art not = porn :)
You got your answer there ;)
Good answer? It is a beautiful painting, but it is still provacative by anyone's definition.
