Kissing Gate (The Gate Of The Kiss)

cults3d

The Gate Of The Kiss by Constantin Brancusi. On the faces of each column is the symbol of the kiss, two halves of a circle, characteristic of Brancusi's work. In addition, there are inlays that bring with a kind of roof of the gate, as if the gate would be covered with shingles. The kissing gate looks like a triumphal arch, symbolizing the triumph of life over death. The monument was commissioned by the National League of Gorj county to honor those soldiers who had defended the city of Târgu Jiu in 1916 from the forces of the Central Powers.
