Description

A moving and must-have celebration of romantic love in art, spanning 500 years and featuring a variety of artists from William Blake and Auguste Rodin, to Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Catherine Opie and Wolfgang Tillmans.

Love presents a selection of the most touching and transformative expressions of romantic love drawn from Tate’s collection. Divided among 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.

Sometimes chaste, sometimes frenzied, often passionate and occasionally heartbreaking, placed together these beautiful images create a fascinating and enlightening journey into love in Western art.
