The Kiss(es) Part 2
[insert Brancusi]
I think: simple yet ambiguous. Also, why this shape? What does the symmetry of the man and woman mean?
Fifth, de Kooning(1925)
[insert kooning]
I think: secretive. It’s dark but only in color. Are they under covers? Are these two women?
Bonus: 21st Century Banksy(2004)
[insert banksy]
I think: Banksy is great. He got two birds with one stone.
There are so many more versions of a kiss between two people. It’s an unbelievably common act of love, comfort, and connection. An action like that is what art loves to reflect. It’s one of the most powerful things people love to reflect on- it’s intimacy and time and feeling.
