Love

A beautiful gift publication - perfect for anyone in, out or in search of love. Divided by key themes - such as courtship, passion, symbolism, enduring love and even loss - each of the 50 works of art included has been individually selected for the particular way in which the artist has attempted to capture the ineffable, affirmative, devotional aspects of love. Works of art - including paintings, drawings, sculptures, illustrations and installations - are punctuated by brief captions adding background detail or additional information about the art, artists and their subjects. Sometimes chaste, sometimes frenzied, often passionate and occasionally heartbreaking, placed together these beautiful images create a fascinating and enlightening journey through the visual portrayal of love and sexuality in Western art. Featured artists include: Felix Gonzalez- Torres, Wolfgang Tillmans, David Hockney, Diane Arbus, Gwen John, Auguste Rodin, William Blake, Bandele 'Tex' Ajetunmobi, Christopher Wool, Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema, Sylvia Sleigh, Sophie Calle and many more.
