What happens when art and love collide?
In Relation is a new exhibition at The Royal West of England Academy in Bristol, which brings together the work of nine artist couples who made an indelible mark on British art.
The exhibition considers how these iconic romantic partnerships inspired experimentation and collaboration, and radically altered the course of each artist’s creative life.
In Relation includes some of Britain’s most influential couples, including Ben Nicholson and Barbara Hepworth; Laura and Harold Knight; Dod and Ernest Procter; Eric Ravilious and Tirzah Garwood; Robert MacBryde and Robert Colquhoun; Rose and Roger Hilton; Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant, Mary Fedden and Julian Trevelyan; Phyllis Barron and Dorothy Larcher.
The Ingram Collection is loaning three works to the show: Mary Fedden’s Orange and Green Still Life, Julian Trevelyan’s Thames Houseboats, and Barbara Hepworth’s Sculpture with Colour and Strings.
