拍品資料及來源

Writing about Le Baiser, Albert Elsen captured the essence and vitality of Rodin's work,"'Trembling flesh' and 'palpitating life,' visible, for example, in the taut features of Paolo's back, are the result of the sculptor's energizing modeling, which seems to blossom from within to the outside, like life itself. Vital modeling combines with an unconventional grouping to convey a range of sentiments, inspired by Baudelaire, whose intensity, passion, and psychological honesty are far removed from the emotional languor of academic sculpture of the time. With works such as The Kiss, Rodin had achieved a redefinition of sculptural beauty and expression....The Kiss revealed that beauty and soul need not preclude the expression of life, and this combination and reorientation of crucial values provided the basis and substance for Rodin's artistic appeal" (A. E. Elsen, Rodin Rediscovered (exhibition catalogue), National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C, 1981, pp. 86-87).

Rainer Maria Rilke wrote of this work in 1903, "The spell of the great group of the girl and the man that is named 'The Kiss' lies in this understanding distribution of life. In this group waves flow through the bodies, a shuddering ripple, a thrill of strength, and a presaging of beauty. This is the reason why one beholds everywhere on these bodies the ecstasy of this kiss. It is like a sun that rises and floods all with its light" (R. M. Rilke, Rodin, London, 1946, p. 26).
