Description
Learn how to appreciate some of the world's most iconic artworks from a unique angle and discover how the universal theme of love influenced our greatest artists.
Whether in the throes of passion, enduring the pain of an unrequited love or basking in the joy of a wonderfully supportive friendship, this guide uses love as a way to explore famous artworks and how they were created.
Beautifully illustrated with full-colour photographs of 100 artworks, this guide looks at the ways the artists have painted, sketched and modelled their lovers, but also demonstrates how love can find its way into many other subjects - from landscape to still life.
Artists include: Caravaggio, Rodin, Klimt, Georgia O'Keefe, Vanessa Bell, Dali, Picasso, Van Gogh, Matisse, Rembrandt, Artemisia Gentileschi, Frida Kahlo, Tamara de Lempicka and Dorothea Tanning.
