If you've read my blog before, you probably know that I love when contrasting elements collide: old and new, sleek and soft, girly and boyish. Those are the main reasons I love the painting The Kiss by Gustav Klimt. (This is just a detail from the larger work.) Angular and smooth lines, abstract and realism (and a guy and a girl) meet to create a painting that's ethereal and vibrant, not a mess. History fact: the woman in the painting was Klimt's girlfriend.
