I vote B because A has to much psychological baggage. B is about a pure and simple kiss.
Haha. Well said Tomd. You verbalized what I was feeling perfectly! Too much psychological baggage vs. a pure and simple kiss.
B— Chagall speaks to the feel of weightlessness when you kiss someone you love. ❤
I say B because it is more my style. It catches my eye and makes me look deeper. It reads better for me. A creeps me out a little.
A- I love the symbolism that we sometimes don't really know each other, we hide our true selves from our lovers/partners, the passion is there but we don't look deeper or are afraid to look deeper.
Nothing like a different and sensitive view to describe this kiss.
I vote for A I like the piece better and I think it expresses that blindness that often comes with love. There are so many amaizing pieces based on this theme.
I votează A because it suggests passion, unknown and adventure,B îs somewhat forced kiss
Maybe it's just me, but they're both a bit disturbing. Guess it's not my kind of art.
A - love is always a mystery and you'll never fully know what's in another person's heart or mind if you're only tuning in with your physical senses
Elena's description of how he bends to wrap her in that protective embrace just made me tear up a little. B, absolutely. That painting is a whole love story in one frame.

Why Chagall’s 'Birthday' speaks to my heart directly. 💖
For me, it is a definitive choice. While Magritte’s 'The Lovers' feels cold, static, and carries a heavy sense of isolation—almost like sightless statues—Chagall’s masterpiece is a pure celebration of life and love.
It is not a frozen moment; you can actually feel their continuous, dancing motion around the room. The figures are beautifully contrasted in dark tones to stand out, surrounded by the fiery red floor of pure passion. Here, love coexists with warmth, home, and comfort. He isn't just flying; he bends to wrap her in a protective, tender embrace, and she lifts off with him in absolute delight and reciprocity. This is what true happiness looks like!
B, no question. That floating, swept up feeling Chagall captured says more about being in love than a thousand words ever could.
A, Magritte by a mile. Love the Chagall piece, too, especially the sense of movement- but the mystery, surrealism and "Waiting for Godot" quality of Magritte, takes the gold ring. Plus, He's Belgian and I am of Belgian stock.
A... It's beautiful.. and passionate... and envokes the feeling of nervousness in opening yourself up that way... while still blinded by the emotion...
Love will always hurt... And that is the only way one can tell that they have ever even loved...
Is by the hard and deep pits of sorrow you inevitably find yourself when, for whatever reason, after however much time, through eons of distance...
When it inevitably ends...
Voting for B
The flow of the painting is more abstract.
Seems like Chagal floating objects, where one
views their own measing into design is B my
choice.
I vote for A, because I'm Belgian and especially because Magritte is part of my artistic culture. I also really like Chagall a lot, of course!
B by Marc Chargall. I love it for it's craziness and drama, the colour and pattern. I really have no idea what he was trying to say, but love it anyway!
A - the thought of kissing without knowing who you are kissing is thrilling.
A. It is all about the kiss. Do you not close your eyes in a kiss? That is why they are draped it’s not about them it’s the connection. The other image is a kiss but is actually called birthday he’s bending out of obligation his back is to her it’s not a kiss of love it’s what you do for a birthday flowers wine a kiss it’s a duty.
Magritte's work looks like a Blind Date with no expression. Chagall's work has humor, playfulness and lightness. B is my preference.

The love and the lightness of the sensuous kiss
Neither. I prefer Gustave Klimt’s
