The love lives of the artists Five stories of creative intimacy

Daniel Bullen

Book - 2011

Tells the stories of Rainer Maria Rilke and Lou Andreas-Salom, Alfred Stieglitz and Georgia O'Keeffe, Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir, Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo, and Henry Miller and Anais Nin, five couples who approached their relationships with the same rebellious creativity as they practiced in their art. From their early artistic development and their first experiences in love, to their artistic marriages and their affairs, and then to their fights and reconciliations, addictions, nervous breakdowns and continued creativity. The Love Lives of the Artists describes the promise and the price of freedom and creativity in love.
