The Kiss's creator.Now that is good art.

Which one are you talking about? Many artists did "the Kiss"

I love The Kiss sculpture by Rodin. That's one of my favorites, but again, sculpture is my favorite medium.

Klimt

Eh, I kind of figured you were talking about that one. Not my favorite in the least. I’ve seen lesser known artists make The Kissmore enjoyable to look at.

I can appreciate his work, and I do like many of his other paintings, it’s just that one isn’t on my list of favorites.

I'm going to come back to this one, remember? Any more guesses? It's kind of a tough one (and honestly, it's been a little while since I posted it, I hope I can remember who it is!)
