some art nouveau

The Kiss, by Gustav Klimt

Portrait of Adele Bloch Bauer, by Gustav Klimt

I love the Art Nouveau period, especially Gustav Klimt's works. I remember buying a postcard of "The Kiss" a few years back, knowing nothing about the artist or style, merely admiring the painting because it was beautiful. Now, I pour over the art books in our NYU library, absolutely famished for Klimt! Aren't the intricate details stunning?
