'LOVE' is one of Gustav Klimt's most enigmatic and interesting works. Its obvious beauty at first may divert you from its more troubling aspects. What story is Klimt telling here? Is it a representation of love in its more fulfilling aspects, or is Klimt being more cynical?

One of Klimt's most famous and most reproduced works is 'The Kiss' (below). For more information on Klimt, you can read about him here.

And just what was 33-year-old Klimt saying with 'Love'? You be the judge -- or read a fictional dissection in the prologue of Jen Frankel's novel, THE LAST RITE.
