The Kiss by Constantin Brâncuși
The Kiss by Constantin Brâncuși
First thoughts:
The statue in question appears to be two people kissing. It could resent love and passion between two people. If you look at it from a curtain angle it looks like the small person. It could be made from a certain type of stone. Could of been made hundreds of years ago. Well crafted with simply imagery.
Facts:
Artist: Constantan Brâncuși Born 1876 Passes away 1957
Title: The Kiss
Year: 1908 (was shown in 1913)
The original stone carving is in the Muzeul de Arta at Craiova, Romania. Four types of The Kiss exist. Each type goes further toward obstruction. Although it was made in 1908 it was officially shown at the 1913 Armoury Show. Another version of the The Kiss serves as an adornment of a tomb in Montparnasse Cemetery in Paris, France but in 2017 it was covered in a box. There is also a version that can still be seen at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Known as one of Brâncuși works. The piece was made to express a subject in its most pure form.

After doing some research I found that not only four versions exist but there could be more. The Kiss capture the feeling of love and warmth. The two fiugres embraces each other with passion. It shows affection in abstract form. Its just pure and beautiful.
