Answer to Question 1

Both pieces are sculpturalone of bronze, the other of stoneand each is presented in a naturalistic manner. They are informed by the cultural realities of the time. Thematically, the head is of a spiritual nature. The Kiss is more emotional and physical.

Answer to Question 2

The two paintings explore form and content. They share the same subject matter (content) but are different in form (look). Music Lesson depicts a social setting in a relaxed representational style, whereas Piano Lesson is an abstracted composition with less focus on content and more on form.
