The Art of the Affair: An Illustrated History of Love, Sex and Artistic Influence at Julie Saul Gallery

Reception and book signing: Saturday, January 28, 2017, 3-6 pm

Harmon’s series of watercolor portraits embodies the likenesses of some of the most influential creators of the twentieth century, radiating the love and heartbreak they enjoyed, endured, and ultimately poured into the great works that survived them. The selection of drawings weaves its way through the long chain of love, affections, and artistic influences among writers, musicians, and artists — from Frida Kahlo to Colette to Hemingway to Dali; from Coco Chanel to Stravinsky to Miles Davis to Orson Welles.
