A sphinx, part woman and part great cat, wraps herself around a man and presses her mouth to his. He doesn’t resist. It’s tenderness and menace in one embrace, and it’s one of the most unsettling images of the Symbolist movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eStuck was a leading German Symbolist, a co-founder of the Munich Secession, and a teacher of Kandinsky and Klee. His favorite subjects were temptation, desire, and the dangerous woman, and this painting may be the purest example. The shadowed setting and the glowing skin of the two figures give it a theatrical, dreamlike intensity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis print is made for the dark academia library, the moody bedroom, the gothic gallery wall, or the altar corner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWHY IT WORKS ON A WALL\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt tells a whole story in one frame, and viewers tend to stop and ask who she is and what he’s given up.
