What Art Can Tell Us About Love

A new and accessible way to understand art, looking at the love affairs that inspired our greatest masterpieces

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Discover the love affairs that inspired art's greatest masterpieces.

Whether in the throes of passion, enduring the pain of an unrequited love, or basking in the joy of a wonderfully supportive friendship, What Art Can Tell Us About Love explores how love influenced artists and the work they created.

Beautifully illustrated with full-colour photographs of more than 70 artworks, this guide looks at how artists have painted, sketched, and modelled their lovers, and how the theme of love has found its way into an array of subjectsβ€”from landscapes to still-life and self-portraits.

Artists include Caravaggio, Georgia O'Keeffe, Sarah Bernhardt, Picasso, Rembrandt, Frida Kahlo, Tamara de Lempicka, Clifford Prince-King, Chagall, Lotte Laserstein, and Niki de Saint Phalle.
