Later Europe & Americas unit test

A test on this unit alone, marked as a percentage and a letter grade — for the test your class is actually sitting, rather than for May. Answer everything, then submit once: seeing the answer to question 3 before attempting question 4 makes the final percentage meaningless.

SHORT ESSAY: CONTINUITY AND CHANGE (5 points). The work shown is The Kiss by Gustav Klimt, 1907–1908 CE, oil and gold leaf on canvas, Belvedere, Vienna. A man and a woman are shown embracing at the edge of a flowered meadow that ends abruptly in a void. The figures' bodies dissolve into a single gold-leafed mantle patterned with black and white rectangles on the man's side and concentric colored circles on the woman's; only the hands, faces, the woman's feet, and a portion of her lower legs are rendered naturalistically. The man's head is turned away, bent to kiss the woman's cheek; she kneels with eyes closed and head tilted back. The gold ground has no depth.
