Le Boxeur (The Boxer / Portrait of the Artist) by Pierre Bonnard, Musee D'Orsay

From here

Winged Victory of Samothrace/ Nike of Samothrace from the Louvre It is one of the earliest statues to depict dynamic movement. Being broken has made the statue more famous. Because the head and arms were never recovered, the viewer is forced to focus strictly on the raw emotion, form, and graceful energy of her body.

Serge Gainsbourg (songwriter) and Jane Birkin (actor / singer) who recorded together th  scandalous duet Je T’Aime … Moi Non Plus, which featured at the time explicit, breathy vocal that simulated intimacy.

This is the clip from 1969.

Ombres portées (Cast Shadows) by Émile Friant, Musee d'Orsay

Very cinematic painting which plays with the strong lights and shadows to create dramatic tension. While the man looks up at the woman and holding her hand, she looks away with a detached. The shadows imply their disconnect: the man's shadow appears close enough to kiss her cheek, yet her own shadow is stretched far above.
