The Kiss

Well, after seeing "The Kiss" on YouTube I see why the IMDb thumbnail has no picture. At no more than three seconds, the kiss consisted of two totally nude women shaking hands and then kissing each other on the lips. Was it homosexual in nature? Who knows, it's hard to tell. If they were fully clothed I don't think the question would be asked. Eadweard Muybridge does seem to have an affinity of nudity. In his "Athlete Swinging a Pick" he was the totally nude athlete swinging a pick ax. The quality was so bad in that one that you really couldn't gauge if he was nude or not. In "The Kiss" there's no denying the two women are naked. Was it Eadweard Muybridge trying to promote body expressionism or was that more common in the late 19th century?
