EDITORS COMMENTS
The Kiss IV, created by Norwegian artist Edvard Munch in 1902, is a powerful and evocative woodcut print that captures the intensity and depth of human emotion. This iconic work is a testament to the Expressionist and Symbolist artistic movements of the early 20th century. The image depicts a passionate embrace between a man and a woman, their faces contorted in rapture as they unite in a moment of deep devotion. The couple is set against a backdrop of swirling, abstract forms, suggesting a sense of chaos and the unknown. The use of woodcut printing technique, with the image printed from two blocks that were sawed into two sections in gray-brown and black ink on cream Japanese paper, adds to the textured and dynamic quality of the artwork. Munch's The Kiss IV is a poignant exploration of love and unity, capturing the raw and intense emotions that underlie human relationships. The image has become an enduring symbol of the human experience, and is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of modern art. This print is part of the impressive collection of The Art Institute of Chicago, which holds a significant number of works by Edvard Munch, reflecting the institution's commitment to preserving and showcasing the heritage of artistic movements from around the world. The Kiss IV invites viewers to contemplate the depths of human emotion and the power of connection, making it a timeless and captivating work of art.
