The Effect Of Love On Art

By Emily Sigidson


Love and art are two words that are interwoven across many different spectrums. Art is a talent that is displayed through love of the craft. It can be an inspiration in both a positive and negative form that makes way for some of the world's most incredible paintings.

The emotion of love is universal. It is felt in every culture and in many different ways. From the love a mother to the passion of a lover, there are different levels that make up the world of love. It is for this reason that passionate art is so often sought out in the purchase of art.

Given this feeling, it is no wonder that this emotion often plays the muse for many famous works of art. It has been used throughout history in many different forms. From canvas to sculpture, the message of love through art is endless.

Artists will be the first ones to celebrate the impact of love into their artwork. They recognize its significance in their life and the lives of their viewers. It is because of this universal feeling that it is so important for it to be expressed through art.

It is a beautiful incident when an artist is capable of capturing the hearts of their viewers, by channeling a fond memory or deep emotion form their viewer. This feeling is what art is made of and the main reason people seek out this kind of work.

Although there are many quotes from artists throughout history about the effects of love on their art, this particular one is ceratinly at the top of my list:

"If I could say it in words, there would be no reason to paint." Edward Hopper
