The artwork titled “Lovers (The Kiss)” was created by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner in 1930. It belongs to the Cubism art movement and is categorized as a genre painting. The dimensions of the artwork are 150 x 100 cm, and it is currently held in a private collection.
The artwork portrays two figures in an intimate embrace, rendered in a stylized and abstract manner characteristic of Cubism. The figures are intertwined, with exaggerated forms and bold colors that add a sense of dynamic movement and emotional intensity to the composition. Elements of the background, consisting of vivid green stripes and dark silhouettes, enhance the depth and contrast within the scene. The use of muted yet striking colors, along with angular and fluid lines, demonstrates Kirchner’s distinctive approach to depicting human emotion and connection.
