A beautiful TT - I think the Momar Ndiaye painting is my favourite.
Nice list, I'd never heard of most of them - so it was an art history lesson too!
These are wonderful. The Nadiaye painting is wonderful.
Great list...love the pics:) Happy TT.
Another thing I've learned! I was not familiar with any of them. Happy TT.

My T 13 is shared, I hope you can find time to stop by if you haven't already! happy thursday!!
Oh, what a great list! I love seeing the variety of paintings different artists come up with on the same theme.
As expected, you are living up to your high standards of excellence. If not for your crusading efforts, I would not have even come to know the existence of such masterpieces and would have died in blissfull ignorance.
Normally I am a bag of lazy bones and you have spurred me to put on my thinking cap and strain my brain. I present my views on these paintngs below:
1) These paintings depict four kinds of kisses. THE KISS OF BUDDING ROMANCE (painting nos.1,6,7,8,9,13). THE STOLEN KISS ( painting no.12) THE PASSIONATE KISS ( painting nos.2,3,4,5,11) THE FANTASY KISS ( painting no
10).
2) These paintings reflect the mood of the painters themselves. The budding romance painters are in the process of falling in love and they are indicating how they will start their romance. The stolen kiss painter is showing how he will kiss his lady love furtively. The passionate kiss painters are in intense love and they are showing that their passion is exploding and they are experiencing heavenly bliss. The fantasy kiss painter becomes a god to kiss his heart throb.
May God give you the strength, courage and enthusiasm to educate, illuminate and enlighten people like me on these finer aspects of life.
NAMASKARAM! NANNI! Real tongue twister. In Malayalam Language spoken by the Keralites this means GREETINGS and THANKS.
