the kiss x magritte

the kiss x magritteThis reinterpretation of Gustav Klimt's The Kiss is part of Ren Magritte's dreamlike, symbolic world. Here, the lovers are metamorphosed into natural and celestial elements: a moon like face and a cloud like silhouette come together in a suspended kiss. A solitary tree anchored in a vast plain recalls the balance between dream and reality so dear to Magritte. The soft golden and bluish hues give the work a timeless poetry, where the moment of union
