Hypnotizing Virgins.


Gustav Klimt. Austrian born Painter. 1887-1986. "The Virgin."

This painting kills me. The soft sensuality. The dazzling colors. The dreamy aesthetic... You get lost in it. I want to be one of these women, entangled in their bed of love and lust. It is as if they melt into each other, enlivened by each addition of shared devotion. Their bodies hide behind the multicolored duvet, maintaining their innocence & unfiltered beauty. The curve of one's hip, the arch of a breast- it is erotic, and strangely encapsulating; a rich blend of radiant grandeur. Gustav playfully coaxes you to desire his "virgins," idolizing their sisterhood of sleepy solace.
