Autori Embrace Kiss Kissing Passion Passionate Romance Romantic Sep16 Stylised Snogging
EDITORS COMMENTS
The Kiss" by Alphonse Mucha's protégé, Othon Friesz Autori, is a captivating depiction of a passionate moment between two lovers, captured in the distinctive angular style of the 1930s. The image, created in 1930, exudes an aura of romance and intimacy as the couple locks eyes and lips in a tender embrace. Autori's stylized interpretation of the kiss transcends the mundane, elevating the simple act to a symbol of love and connection. The couple's bodies are elongated and contorted in a way that accentuates their passion, while the use of bold lines and sharp angles adds a sense of dynamism and energy to the scene. The background is a swirl of abstract shapes and colors, creating a dreamlike atmosphere that further emphasizes the otherworldly quality of the moment. The contrast between the couple's human forms and the abstract background adds depth and complexity to the image, inviting the viewer to explore the depths of the lovers' emotions. Despite being created nearly a century ago, "The Kiss" remains a timeless representation of the power of love and the beauty of human connection. The image invites us to reflect on the enduring nature of romance, and the ways in which it continues to inspire and captivate us, even in the midst of the hustle and bustle of modern life. This print, originally published by the Illustrated London News Ltd and now available through Mary Evans Prints Online, is a testament to the enduring appeal of Autori's work and the power of art to transport us to another time and place.
