It is an early example of his proto-cubist style of non-literal representation. This sculpture is considered the first modern sculpture of the twentieth century.

This plaster was exhibited at the 1913 Armory Show and published in the Chicago Tribune of 25 March 1913.[1] This early plaster sculpture is one of six casts that Brancusi made of the 1907–08 The Kiss.
It is a symbolistic work of two lovers embracing, a theme represented in numerous pieces of art full of erotism, from Auguste Rodin and Edvard Munch, to Gustave Moreau.
