"The Kiss" Oil on Canvas French Art Nouveau School circle of T. Steinlen

circa 1920

About the Item

"The Kiss," oil on canvas, French Art Nouveau school of the late 19th century, follower of Théophile Alexander Steinlen. Extremely modern and striking painting, in which the painter was freely inspired by Steinlen's painting of the same name preserved at the Musée d'Orsay, painting his own personal "Kiss" on a canvas with a monochromatic red background. The subject of the kiss is particularly popular in the years between the late 19th and early 20th centuries: iconic paintings include those of Klimt, Munch, Magritte, and Rodin. The juxtaposition with Steinlen's painting is due to the same theme of the red monochromatic background against which the scene unfolds. Measurements cm 41 x 33

SIGN OF THE TIMES The paint is made in the author's technique of painting by Vasili Zianko based acrylic painting on canvas using a variety of textures, washes, the finest glazing, volumetric contours. The art-work is readable for blind and visually impaired people by touch. The painting metaphorically depicts Ouroboros wheel - a curled snake biting its tail. Ouroboros is a symbol of eternity and infinity, especially of cyclic nature life, alternation of creation and destruction, life and death, constant rebirth and death, the movement of space. My end is my beginning. In many myths, Ouroboros embraces the whole world and identified with the circular flow of waters surrounding the earth. It maintains the world and its existence, and at the same time, it brings death into life, and life into death. Unmoving in appearance, Ouroboros personifies perpetual motion, always returning to oneself. In Orphic cosmology, Ouroboros embraces the Cosmic Egg...
