Kiss 1897

Edvard Munch's "Kiss" (1897) is a powerful depiction of a couple embracing in a darkened room. The shadowy figures are tightly intertwined, their faces hidden, suggesting an intense and private moment. The brushstrokes are expressive and dynamic, capturing the raw emotion of the scene. The painting's dark palette and distorted forms are characteristic of Munch's Expressionist style, reflecting the anxieties and alienation of modern life. Now on display at the Munch Museum in Oslo, Norway, "Kiss" is a landmark work in the history of art.
