A new illustrated book titled 'Lovers in Art' by Giancarlo Ascari and Pia Valentinis, published by 24 ORE Cultura, examines ten iconic artist couples from the 19th and 20th centuries. The book, releasing on February 3, 2022, delves into the often turbulent relationships between artists such as Dante Gabriel Rossetti and Elizabeth Siddal, Auguste Rodin and Camille Claudel, Amedeo Modigliani and Jeanne Hébuterne, Gustav Klimt and Emilie Floge, Pablo Picasso and Dora Maar, and Vasilij Kandinskij and Gabriele Münter. The authors highlight the struggles of female artists who were often overshadowed by their male partners, aiming to reclaim their artistic identities beyond being merely 'muses' or 'companions'.
