Brancusi "The Kiss" Below,

Use Khan Academy 250 #129,this link-

https://www.theartstory.org/artist/brancusi-constantin/artworks/  & this Analysis:

Constantin Brancusi's series of works titled The Kiss constitutes one of the most celebrated depictions of love in the history of art. Utilizing a limestone block, the artist employed the method of direct carving to produce the incised contours that delineate the male and female forms. The juxtaposition of smooth and rough surfaces paired with the dramatic simplification of the human figures, which are shown from the waist up, may suggest Brancusi's awareness of "primitive" African sculpture and perhaps also of the Cubist works of his contemporaries.
