The Kiss 1910

"The Kiss" (1910) is a minimalist sculpture by Constantin Brâncuși, carved from limestone. It depicts two figures embracing, their forms simplified to geometric shapes. The central motif is a stylized circle, representing the heads of the lovers, carved into the top of the sculpture. The overall effect is one of abstract purity and timeless love, a hallmark of Brâncuși's work. His sculptures often explore the essence of form, seeking to capture the underlying spirit of his subjects. The Kiss is a prime example of Brancusi's commitment to abstraction and simplification, making it a seminal work of modern sculpture.
