Call for Entries: BANG BANG
Stephen Shames, Polaris Teenage Couple Kiss, The Bronx 1982. From the book "Bronx Boys" (University of Texas Press).
Brancusi did it. Rodin did it. Even Tamara de Lempicka did it. The kiss has left its mark on many works of art, from the stone carvings of Constantin Brancusi to its marble predecessor sculpted by Rodin. With her kiss, Tamara de Lempicka delivered a woman swept off her feet by a high society gentleman, clad in an oily top hat, against the cubist backdrop of a city port. Each kiss carries its own sentiment. When lips meet, they promise temporary escape or a lifetime of devotion. When tongues touch, they deliver notes to our lovers, detailing desire or a lack thereof. We're asking contemporary artists working in all media to send us a kiss. All artist interpretations on this theme are welcome.
