"Cheek to Cheek: A Timeless Expression of Love and Connection" In the world of art, various mediums have captured the essence of "cheek to cheek, " showcasing the beauty and intimacy shared between individuals. From a Belgian poster advertising the iconic film Casablanca in 1942, where Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman's characters embraced passionately, to Des Caresses, a delicate piece created with coloured crayons on grey paper that portrays tender caresses exchanged between lovers. The theme continues through time as we delve into photographs capturing heartfelt moments. A black and white photo from around 1925 depicts a mother cherishing her child, their cheeks pressed together in an affectionate bond. Similarly, Mrs. West and Child by Benjamin West in 1770 showcases a mother's love for her little one. Religious art also embraces this intimate gesture. Dieric Bouts' Virgin and Child from the 15th century depicts Mary cradling baby Jesus against her cheek—a symbol of maternal devotion transcending centuries. Moving beyond traditional art forms, candid snapshots capture famous personalities sharing endearing moments cheek to cheek. George Best, former football player extraordinaire, is seen with his girlfriend in March 1982—two faces close together amidst laughter and joy. Another image captures him years later with another companion—an expression of warmth despite life's ups and downs. Hollywood star Anita Ekberg attends a press reception alongside actor Michael Wilding; their cheeks touch gently as they pose for photographers—a moment frozen in time that reflects friendship or perhaps something more profound. Finally, Anita Harris graces our narrative twice—captured during The Bruce Forsyth Show circa 1965—her radiant smile mirroring that of her host as they lean towards each other playfully. Through these diverse artworks and photographs emerges an overarching message.
