Love

     Feelings or emotions can be hard to define, especially one such as love. Love is so difficult to define because everyone has a different view on it based on their past experiences. Also there are so many different types of love, including:  romantic love, family love, friend love,  even love of non-humans such as  inanimate objects or animals. Love is more easily expressed through actions than through words. It is easier to put your loved ones needs before your own, than to describe in words how they make you feel. It is nearly impossible to  use words to convey exact emotions.
       Art can portray love in a much more effective way. Many artists use visual art to express feelings. In 1889 Auguste Rodin attempted to portray romantic love  in his famous sculpture "The Kiss". This sculpture  depicts the close and personal relationship between two people in a blank setting. With nothing else but the lovers in the piece it is easy to try and understand  that they are the only thing on each others minds. In this piece sex isn't depicted as cheap as it is in today's culture, it is shown with sweet and tender gestures, with the emotions that come with love, in a way no words in any language could  describe.
