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. \u003ci\u003eThe Painted Kiss\u003c\/i\u003e follows Emilie as she blossoms from a na ve 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, \u003ci\u003eThe Painted Kiss\u003c\/i\u003e is as compelling as a work by Klimt himself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Washington Square Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/07\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780743492614\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.50w x 0.50d","brand":"Elizabeth Hickey","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36641514619036,"sku":"9780743492614","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_02dae67f-9594-4d95-bfd9-86e2fce23c80.jpg?v=1603853641","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-painted-kiss-9780743492614","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
