EDITORS COMMENTS
Tonight I Leaned Across 10,000 Miles and Kissed You Print captures the essence of love and longing during a time of separation. This advertisement from ca. 1943, created for the Gruen Watch Company, beautifully depicts a soldier and his beloved in an enchanting embrace. In this dream-like scene, illuminated by the night sky adorned with clouds and stars, we witness a tender moment between two individuals whose connection transcends physical distance. The soldier's arm is wrapped around his partner as they share an intimate kiss, their eyes closed in blissful surrender. Their facial expressions convey both affection and loneliness, reminding us of the sacrifices made during times of war. The clever use of text adds depth to this marketing masterpiece; "Tonight I Leaned Across 10,000 Miles and Kissed You" serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst chaos and uncertainty, love knows no boundaries. This print not only showcases the power of human relationships but also highlights the role commerce played during World War II. As soldiers fought on distant battlefields, companies like Gruen Watch provided solace through their products - keeping loved ones connected through timepieces that symbolized unwavering devotion. With its impeccable design aesthetics and evocative imagery, this lithograph by Curt Teich Company stands as a testament to American period or style commercial art at its finest. It invites viewers to reflect on the enduring nature of love while serving as a powerful propaganda tool for boosting morale among military personnel. A timeless piece capturing emotions that resonate even today.
