In Bed: The Kiss

Fellow citizens,

"This captivating 1892 artwork, In Bed: The Kiss, by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec features two women caught up in a passionate moment. In fact, the artist considers this painting as the epitome of pleasurable and sensual delight. 


The colour scheme that he selected was brilliant with shades of red and yellow, which were subdued by grey, green and blue. This enchanting masterpiece expresses the tender love shared by the couple, as though they were fearful of being separated from each other." [http://totallyhistory.com]
 

"l n’y a qu’un bonheur dans la vie, c’est d’aimer et d’ĂȘtre aimĂ©." (There is only one happiness in life, to love and be loved) Amantine Lucile Aurore Dupin aka George Sand.
