The Kiss


The Kiss is an etching. At least three times Tony had people buy a good large etching press for him. They would be rewarded by a series of etchings. It happened in the US, at least once and Doug Lyons still has some the etchings from that period. This etching stems from 1984 in Belgium when a group of friends without a lot of money, also pinched in and got him the press. This is from the vet's series. When he left, he also left the press and it went to another starving artist... The last press he had went to an activity center for people with incurable diseases but who are fit enough to express themselves in an artistic way.
