ROCKLAND — The Strand Theatre will screen Klimt & The Kiss as a high-definition Exhibition On Screen presentation on Tuesday, Sept. 10, at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. Working with top international museums and galleries, Exhibition On Screen creates films which offer a cinematic immersion into the world’s best loved art, accompanied by insights from leading historians and arts critics.

The Kiss by Gustav Klimt is one of the most recognized and reproduced paintings in the world, according to the Strand, in a news release. Painted in Vienna around 1908, the evocative image of an unknown embracing couple has captivated viewers with its mystery, sensuality and dazzling materials ever since it was created. But just what lies behind the appeal of the painting – and just who was the artist that created it?

“Delving into the details of real gold, decorative designs, symbolism and simmering erotica, a close study of the painting takes us to the remarkable turn of the century, Vienna when a new world was battling with the old,” said the release.

From the director of “Frida Kahlo” and “Mary Cassatt – Painting the Modern Woman”’ comes a powerful and passionate new film. Klimt was a titan of the Art Nouveau movement, creating decadent new worlds which merged tender sensuality, ancient mythology and radical modernity.

Running time is 1 hour 30 minutes.

Tickets: $15/General Admission, $12/Strand Members. To buy tickets, or for more information, visit www.rocklandstrand.com or call (207) 594-0070 EX 3.
