The sex painter Gustav Klimt was fond of playing with women, it was well known. Now and again, you could see two or three models were hanging about with their underwear or even naked in his studio. It was said that Klimt sometimes might stop painting and look for a model to play sex games to stimulate his inspirations of painting. He never married, but there were 14 persons came out to division his property


after his death and claimed that they were all his illegitimate sons. Although Klimt owned various women, but there was one woman who stayed at his side for 27 years long and never left or forsake. She was Emily. So, what was the relationship between Klimt and Emily? Klimt’s little brother married Emily’s little sister. They two are also deeply attached to each other, but their relationship had not been formalized. Except the annual vocation at the Atlantis, there was no direct evidence to prove that they had physical relationships. Emily, this incredible woman with beauty, talent and taste was also the business partner of Klimt. She and her little sister opened an avant-garde style clothing store in Vienna and Klimt designed clothing and jewelry on behalf of the store. He fully supported Emily to a fashion designer. Someone pointed out that, since they were like husband and wife, why did not they get married? And the more surprising was that, why he kept seeking the satisfactions of the sensory organ from the other women? Perhaps he was starved of loving but he did not dare to take responsibilities. Perhaps Emily was the one he could love but not the object that he could create lust. Or maybe he could not entirely affirm his love on her. Maybe Klimt was not able to promise her a bright future, but he integrated with her by the painting The Kiss. It was said that the elliptical spiral on her clothes was the symbol of female genitalia and the long box of the man’s clothes was the symbol of male genitalia. Klimt was born in an industrial art family; his father was a gold crafter and copperplate arborist. And his early enthusiasm to decorative painting and the Byzantine mosaics made him interested in decorating his paintings with gold leaf and opened his golden period. The protagonists were coated by the pupa and totally immersed in the golden eternal happiness. Tracing back to 1902, when Klimt made the painting Beethoven frieze public, he declared that this was a kiss to the whole world. But when came to this painting “Kiss”, his kiss no longer belonged to the people around the world, it only belonged to the woman he deeply loved. He confessed passionately in front of the world- I love this woman, with this soulful century kiss. Surprisingly, this painting The Kiss was not considered as low-level erotic painting and was bought by the Government of Austria at its first exhibition. Maybe it turned the strong passion into praise of divine love and became


famous. Emily used her own form to keep this relationship after the death of Klimt. She remained a Klimt room with his easel, kimono and hundreds of sketches in there. But the door was locked up forever, and only leaving this golden kiss to witness the golden period of their mysterious love.
