The Art of Love tells the stories of the most fascinating couples
of the art world - uncovering the passionate, challenging and
loving relationships behind some the world's greatest works of art.
Kate Bryan (broadcaster, writer and curator) delves into the
complex world of artistic relationships, exploring the nuanced ways
in which art and love can share the same space. When two married
artists collaborate, do they ever get a moment off? What happens
when love fades and two artists, known by one moniker, part? When a
couple work independently, how do they manage jealousy and
competition? In this book, you'll meet love in all its glorious and
complicated forms, including unlikely couples with conflicting
philosophies (Yayoi Kusama & Joseph Cornell); unconventional
marriages that prove love has many guises (Frida Kahlo & Diego
Rivera); couples who suffered from intense, public burnout (Marina
Abramovic & Ulay); soul mates who found safety in each other
(Ethel Mars & Maud Hunt Squire); and bitter rivalries that
weren't built to last (Jasper Johns & Robert Rauschenberg).
Through evocative stories and beautiful illustrations, Kate tells
of the formation, and sometimes breakdown, of each romance -
documenting their highs and lows and revealing just how powerful
love can be in the creative process. Whether long-lasting, peaceful
collaborations, or short-lived tumultuous affairs, The Art of Love,
opens the door on some of the greatest love stories of the
twentieth century.
