| FIN-DE-SIÈCLE CULTURE The term fin-de-siècle refers to a certain unrestrained and freewheeling sensibility that emerged in the context of the political upheaval toward the end of the nineteenth century. Prosperity promoted a culture of decadence and indulgence. Fin-de-Siècle sensuality: In The Kiss, Klimt shows a man sensuously kissing a woman in an opulent composition of flat patterns of shimmering color. 29-56: GUSTAV KLIMT, The Kiss, 1907–1908. Oil on canvas, 5’ 10 3/4” x 5’ 10 3/4”. Austrian Gallery, Vienna. |
