Product info

<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>In the tradition of "The Girl with the Pearl Earring," a beautiful, atmospheric, and sensual debut re-imagines the tempestuous relationship between painter Gustav Klimt and Emilie Floege, the youngest daughter of a bourgeois businessman.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Gustav Klimt, one of the great painters of fin de siècle Austria--and the subject of Helen Mirren's latest film, <i>Woman in Gold</i>--takes center stage in this passionate and atmospheric debut novel, which reimagines the tumultuous relationship between the Viennese painter and Emilie Flöge, the woman who posed for his masterpiece <i>The Kiss</i>, and whose name he uttered with his dying breath.</b> <p/>Vienna in 1886 was a city of elegant cafés, grand opera houses, and a thriving and adventurous artistic community. It is here where the twelve-year-old Emilie meets the controversial libertine and painter. Hired by her bourgeois father for basic drawing lessons, Klimt introduces Emilie to a subculture of dissolute artists, wanton models, and decadent patrons that both terrifies and inspires her. <i>The Painted Kiss</i> follows Emilie as she blossoms from a naïve young girl to one of Europe's most exclusive couturiers--and Klimt's most beloved model and mistress. A provocative love story that brings to life Vienna's cultural milieu, <i>The Painted Kiss</i> is as compelling as a work by Klimt himself.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>[A] decorous...investigation of art and artifice...<i>The Painted Kiss</i> throws [the Klimt] mystery into stark relief. <p/> -- <i>The New York Times</i><br><br>[R]ichly atmospheric and haunting. <p/> -- Lauren Belfer, author of <i>City of Light</i><br><br>A graceful imagining. <p/> -- <i>Kirkus Reviews</i><br><br>Hickey's language is sensual, lush, and unhurried...[an] expressively written debut. <p/> -- <i>Publishers Weekly</i><br>
