Respond to a historical artwork

 
Gustav Klimt - "The Kiss"

This has been my favorite artwork for  long time. Most of it is very flat and Klimt used a lot of lines without creating any value.
The only parts that don't look flat are the girl's feet and arms. I don't like the man's clothes at all because they are so flat but it makes the paining interesting.
I think it is interesting that the woman is so tall. She is on her knees and if she could stand up, she would be at least on foot taller than the man.
I also like that she has flowers in her hair and that there are the same flowers on the ground. So this artwork tells a story even though it is very simple.
