Artistic Statement
We chose to use the kiss by Gustav Klimt because we felt it truly reflected Adam and Mia’s love for one another. The literary device that we felt best reflected the painting was characterization and this is because the people in this painting describe the Adam and Mia. In the picture you can see how the male is over the female, protecting her, like Adam does in the book while Mia is in a coma unable to speak for herself and the female is left under the male in a fragile state a lot like mia is when she leaves her physical body to be in ghost form. Although this picture is beautiful it focuses a lot on love between 2 people and leaves everything around them blank a lot like our book it’s main focus is Adam and Mia, which makes other parts of the undescriptive and simple.
