Welcome to “Artists + Models,” an art exhibition that delves into the often complex relationship between artists and their models. Through a collection of paintings and photographs, this exhibition explores the intimate and often symbiotic dynamic between the artist and subject. We invite you to explore the special and sometimes fraught relationships that have fueled some of the greatest works of art in history, from the collaborations of Picasso and his muses to the self-portraits of Frida Kahlo. We hold nothing back as we examine the secret process and spiritual bond between artist and model.
