Love and Romance in Paintings
 |
| The Kiss , GustavKlimt |
|
|
|
This close up of The Kiss shows Klimt's ability to capture passion .His rich colours and use of gold are gorgeous making him popular society artist in the 1920s and 30s Vienna
There is an excellent film starring Helen Mirren, Woman in Gold,about a war time survivor's quest to recover one of her families' paintings stolen by the Nazis.

| In Bed, Toulouse Lautrec |
|
There a sexiness to many of Toulouse Lautrec's paintings that defines his drawings and paintings.His work often depicted ordinary men and women taking time off in the cafes ,theatres and dance halls of Paris.
Van Gogh's painting shows a couple resting together in the heat of the day when they are supposed to be cutting corn.They have kicked off their shoes and the animals in the back ground are eating the corn.The lovers have nothing in mind but each other.
