The artwork, “Couple kissing under the Pont au Double, Paris,” was created by Brassai in 1935, and belongs to the Surrealism art movement. This piece is a photograph, depicting an intimate moment between a couple within a serene Parisian setting.
In the artwork, a couple is captured in a tender embrace under the Pont au Double in Paris. The black-and-white photograph exudes a calm and romantic atmosphere, characteristic of Brassai’s ability to convey deep emotions through his lens. The lovers are positioned beside a calm river, their figures prominently placed in the lower left portion, creating a profound contrast with the expansive water and architectural surroundings. The serene waterway reflects the tranquility of the moment, while the bridge above, along with the cobblestone walkway, frames the scene, emphasizing the intimacy shared between the couple in the bustling city of Paris. The choice of monochrome adds a timeless quality to this surrealistic portrayal of romance.
