"Kiss" (1913) by Vsevolod Maksymovych is a captivating artwork depicting a passionate embrace between two figures, their bodies intertwined in a swirling embrace against a backdrop of concentric circles in shades of red and brown. The painting, completed shortly before the artist's untimely death in 1914, showcases Maksymovych's unique style, combining elements of Art Nouveau and Symbolism. The artwork currently resides in the National Art Museum of Ukraine (NAMU) in Kyiv, Ukraine.
