Some of his figures are so awkwardly together - especially his one of the man and woman embracing. He towers over her and she seems not to be enjoying his embrace but is wanting to get out of that embrace. I don’t see love there - I see a woman who doesn’t want to be where she is. I could also be projecting - given my own history.

Your history might make you observe, but you’re seeing straight and clear. I never saw that, but you’re quite right. So besides not connecting with the viewer, they’re also not connecting with each other - all except for the fuzzy, romantic one in the long, narrow painting. So emotional connections aren’t what Klimt’s after. Which leaves pattern - an intellectual abstraction. Fascinating. Good eye.
