Celebrating Spring With Doisneau and Rodin

I have been hearing the birds singing at sunrise for half a month now, and last night the air was full of spring, too. Today, however, when I sat to write a post for my LiveJournal blog wishing everyone a wonderful spring on the occasion of the first day of March, one thing downed on me.

That the posture of figures in Eternal Spring by Auguste Rodin and The Kiss at the Hotel de Ville by Robert Doisneau were somehow, strangely, similar. The figures on Doisneau’s photograph are surrounded by the crowd in the street, so the movement and sensuality are not as apparent as in Rodin’s sculpture, as a consequence. And yet the similarity is there. Which is a good reason to believe that spring is indeed eternal.
