I’ve always liked art, but it’s really only been the last few years where I’ve taken time to wander around some great museums during my travels, instead of just hurrying in and out. Glad I finally figured out what a blessing this is!

How wonderful that you got to see this in person — and thanks for the heads up. I’m bookmarking your link in case I ever get back to Paris. I’d love to add a third kiss sighting to my inventory. :-)

By the way, the NY Metropolitan of Art has another “kiss” I’d love to see (actually called “Pygmalion and Galatea” by Gerome: http://www.metmuseum.org/collection/the-collection-online/search/436483 ) But they don’t currently have it on display. Some day!!

The other is Constantin Bracusi’s “The Kiss”. During the first decade of the 1900s he sculpted several versions of “The Kiss”. My favorites are his boxy cubist versions the first of which my husband and I saw in the Montparnasse Cemetery in Paris…yes, it is a headstone marking the grave of a young Russian girl who killed herself over a lost love. Not common to see security cameras over a grave marker. Here is a link to a picture of the headstone. https://photographychronicles.wordpress.com/2012/05/31/montparnasse-cemetery-constantin-brancusi/

It was so beautiful that it took my breath away. Thank you for the beautiful pictures of both of your favorites and for telling the story behind them.
