Description
V-J Day in Times Square is a photograph by Alfred Eisenstaedt that portrays an American sailor kissing a woman in a white dress on Victory over Japan Day (V-J Day) in Times Square in New York City, on August 14, 1945. The photograph is known under various titles, such as V-J Day in Times Square, V-Day, and The Kiss. In 2005, John Seward Johnson II displayed a bronze life-size sculpture, Unconditional Surrender, at an August 14, 2005 sixtieth-anniversary reenactment at Times Square of the event made famous in Eisenstaedt's photograph. His statue was featured in a ceremony that included Carl Muscarello and Edith Shain, holding a copy of the famous photograph, as participants.[21] Johnson also sculpted 25 feet (7.6�m)-tall versions in plastic and aluminum, which have been displayed in several cities, including San Diego (right) and Sarasota.
