Abstract
Loved by the public and spurned by its creator, Rodin's The Kiss remains controversial to this day. While telling the remarkably intricate story of how the sculpture came to be, this program illustrates the impact of Michelangelo's and Ghiberti's works on Rodin's artistic sensibilities, comments on Rodin's relationships, sketches out the character of the times, sheds light on The Kiss's imperishable place in pop culture, and thoroughly explores the sculpture's erotic appeal. Rodin's The Age of Bronze and The Gates of Hell are discussed as well. Contains mature themes and explicit language and imagery. Original BBCW broadcast title: The Kiss.
