Pocket Diary (Klimt: The Kiss) - Flame Tree Publishing

A part of the Flame Tree series of pocket-sized luxury books. Combining high-quality production with stunning artwork, the covers are printed on foil in five colours, embossed, and then foil-embossed again. They are wonderfully practical: with a back pocket for receipts and scraps, two bookmarks, and a sturdy magnetic side flap. Perfect for personal use, handbags, and make a dazzling gift. This example features the famous and beloved The Kiss by Gustav Klimt.

The Kiss is an excellent example of Klimt's "Golden Phase," during which he began to regularly incorporate particularly rich ornamentation into his paintings. The couple in this work represents mystical unity of spiritual and erotic love, as well as the connection between life and the universe.

Incredible titles and a wide range of authors are synonymous with Flame Tree Publishing.
