[userlander]

The bottom 2 are picasso, the yellowy one above that is gustav klimt, the two sculptures above that are rodin, and the two at the top that look like sumerian or some indigenous sculpture are from brancusi.

The brancusi was featured in a french movie I saw a couple of months ago, but I forget the name of it. :-o

 

[Lazarus Short]

Ya gotta hav ot.

 

[robm321]

The Middle ones look like Rodin - just guessing. As mentioned, Picasso is there I think with the eyes all jacked up. Have no idea about the first one.

 

[AdamCalifornia]

I guess that you have forgotten about the titles of those paintings and sculptures.

I 've got an amusing hint which I'll post anyway. Ha, ha,....

Yeah!

By the way,

Quote:

There is perhaps no other painting in Western art so celebrated for its depiction of sensual love.

Apropos Chagall's 'The Birthday' - Thanks! Excellent!
But there is a reason that his painting is not here. - Ha, ha, ...
I will explain later.

'The Birthday' by Marc Chagall

P.S.
Six more titles needed.

 

[fatcat28037]

all titled "The Kiss"

Though I'm only familiar with a few of them I'd have to assume this is correct. The Klimt piece is for sure....

 

[AdamCalifornia]

Yes, they are all titled "The Kiss".

Here are two more.

The Kiss, Edvard Munch (1897)

The Kiss, Edvard Munch

Edvard Munch had more versions on the same theme.

None of those painings are as famous as the Klimt's one.

See also Edvard Munch's Scream.

P.S.

The Kiss

 

[virometal]

I think of kissing gourami's whenever I see a couple plant one on each other. Really, they're just kissing monkeys, and I am too some of the time, some of my favorite times.

 

[AdamCalifornia]

The above mentioned 'The Birthday' painting by Marc Chagall did not qualify
because its title was NOT 'The Kiss'.
As you see, the criterion was very strict, namely the title had to be 'The Kiss'.
Ha, ha, ha, ...

Obviously the last two hints are very explicit and the first four are confusing.
However, I decided not to give any hint to avoid any confusion.
