Simone + Marines, Pont Alexander II, Paris (Vogue), 1960 - Gelatin silver print // Simone + Marines by William Klein, photographed in 1960, captures an iconic and theatrical moment on the streets of Paris at Pont Alexandre III. This gelatin silver print showcases a model, dressed elegantly in a sheer gown and long gloves, posing with her arms raised dramatically, embodying a blend of grace and boldness.

What is kinetic art?
Kinetic art is an international movement that emerged in the 1920s and gained prominence in the 1960s, referring to art that involves both apparent and real motion. It encompasses any medium that includes movement, either relying on actual motion for its effect or being perceived as moving by the viewer. Early examples include canvas paintings designed to create optical illusions of movement. Today, kinetic art often refers to three-dimensional figures and sculptures, such as those operated by machines or those that move naturally. The movement covers a variety of styles and techniques that frequently overlap.
