无论是细腻、温柔、热情还是强烈，吻都超越了时间、文化、道德的界限，甚至超越了生活本身。亲吻在整个艺术史上被广泛描绘——克里姆特的标志性象征主义绘画，毕加索的立体派夫妇，罗丹的雕塑或安迪·沃霍尔在其工厂中制作的电影《吻》。

情人节就要到了，这本书适合送给爱人，或自己。生活也许无情，但人还有爱的能力。

Over 130 of the greatest depictions of the kiss in art are accompanied by insightful commentary in this handsome volume. The depiction of the kiss has held special significance throughout the history of art, from classical antiquity to the present. A symbol of erotic passion or maternal love but equally of betrayal and death, the kiss represents one of the greatest legendary motifs. Spanning the ages and the globe, this volume explores the emphasis placed by certain cultures and artists on "the meeting of lips." From Hayez’s medieval kissers to Klimt’s iconic symbolist painting, and from Ingres’s Francesca and Paolo to Picasso’s ethereal cubist couple, this book explains the passionate undertones of the world’s greatest masterpieces. The evocative text is illustrated by works ranging from Hokusai to Cindy Sherman via Mary Cassat, Brancusi, and Lichtenstein.
