Drawn in a single, spiraling breath, The Kiss is both grotesque and tender, erotic and absurd. Picasso renders love not as serenity but as collision—lips, eyes, tongues, hair, all tangled in a delirious geometry. The line never hesitates, betraying no edits, no doubt. It’s a choreography of appetite and surrender, revealing how intimacy always skirts the edge of violence. Late Picasso: the draftsmanship of a god, the urgency of a man running out of time.
