"Male Nude Back Sketch For This Kiss To The Whole World" is a preparatory drawing by the Austrian Symbolist painter Gustav Klimt (1862–1918). Created during the early 20th century, this work is part of the extensive series of studies that Klimt produced in the development of his renowned mural "The Beethoven Frieze," which was designed for the 14th Vienna Secessionist exhibition in 1902. The exhibition was dedicated to Ludwig van Beethoven and featured Klimt's monumental frieze as its centerpiece.

The sketch is executed in a characteristic style of Klimt, where the human form is explored with an emphasis on fluidity and sensuality. The male figure in the drawing is depicted from behind, with a focus on the musculature and contours of the back, which reflects Klimt's interest in the human anatomy and his mastery in rendering the body in various poses and movements. The title of the sketch, "This Kiss To The Whole World," is a phrase taken from the choral finale of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, which was a source of inspiration for the entire frieze.

Klimt's preparatory sketches, such as this one, offer a glimpse into his artistic process and the meticulous planning that went into his larger compositions. They are often celebrated for their own artistic merit, showcasing the artist's delicate line work and his ability to capture the essence of form with minimal detail. The "Male Nude Back Sketch For This Kiss To The Whole World" is an example of Klimt's draftsmanship and his contribution to the Symbolist movement, which sought to express the more emotional and spiritual aspects of the human experience through art.

The drawing is significant not only as a study for one of Klimt's major works but also as an artifact of the Vienna Secession, an art movement that aimed to break away from the traditional academic art of the time. Klimt's sketches, including this one, are often studied by art historians and enthusiasts for their role in the evolution of modern art and for the insight they provide into the creative mind of one of the most influential artists of the early 20th century.
