When I look at the picture "The Kiss", I see how a man has a pronounced overriding function - he towers over his beloved, at the same time protecting and dominating. The kneeling pose of the girl shows us a subordinate state, although the man himself is also kneeling. Moreover, despite the intimacy of the moment, the viewer does not have the sensation of spying - the characters are not hiding from anyone. Their image is characterized by some kind of an imperviously simple mortal cosmic state, where only they exist, immersed in each other.
