The Kiss ..... Spice Finches Madrona Marsh Torrance California 103

"Maybe it's the grand scale. Maybe it's the gold. But when re-assessing The Kiss for Klimt’s 150th birthday, journalist Adrian Brijbassi wrote, "The Kissby Gustav Klimt surpasses expectations," unlike that tiny and underwhelming Mona Lisa.

After throwing shade on the more famous painting, Brijbassi explained, "[The Kiss] does what a great piece of art is supposed to do: Hold your gaze, make you admire its aesthetic qualities while trying to discern what’s beyond its superficial aspects."

Take that, Mona." mental floss
