Summary

This season, I’m rounding up stories about modern artists in love, in lust, in relationships— digging into these individuals, see how their liaisons, marriages, affairs, and connections played in or on their respective works of art, and how, if anything, they affected art history as we know it. I, for one, believe that it’s time for Modern Love. Today: we’ve re-recorded and updated our original Season 1 double-header on Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera. Check out their story here.
