Although matrimony was out of the question\u00a0for these two, many believe that their affair<\/a> was very real. The stunning\u00a0model, Gherardo Perini, swooned the great Renaissance artist, Michelangelo, after he came to work for him around the year of 1520. Perini became his muse, inspiration, and even a source of anxiety and distress.<\/p>\n

1880 – Ned Warren & John Marshall<\/strong><\/p>\n

They not only formed a partnership to scout, purchase and broker the sale of antiquities, but also a loving partnership\u00a0that made them the ultimate power couple. Eventually, Warren and Marshall\u00a0controlled the art market at the time and got first pick on anything that came out!<\/p>\n

These two celebrated figures\u00a0in the art world were married in 1924. By then, O’Keeffe was already considered one of the US’s greatest painters!

This couple gained international popularity for their emblematic Mexican art. Although being considered Mexico’s greatest artists for his socially aware murals, Diego Rivera insisted that his wife’s\u00a0work was superior to his! This tumultuous relationship was as passionate as it was intense until Frida’s early death at the age of 44, which left Diego inconsolable.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Married in 1943, Elaine helped promote Willem’s carrier and in return, he gave her drawing lessons that helped her become a fine portraitist. Although Elaine’s career is often overshadowed by her husband’s, there’s\u00a0no doubt that her influence in the art world is significant; being considered one of the most important art teachers in the 20th century.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1945 –\u00a0Jackson Pollock &\u00a0Lee Krasner<\/strong><\/p>\n

The pair met when they exhibited at the same gallery in 1942. At the time, Krasner was more widely known than Pollock, but as per usual, her career as an artist was often compromised by her role as a wife to the painter who tossed paint at canvases with a stick. During the Abstract Expressionist era, Pollock became the most significant postwar American painter.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1955 –\u00a0Jasper Johns &\u00a0Robert Rauschenberg<\/strong><\/p>\n

Although they kept their relationship private, Rauschenberg and Johns were lovers for six years of which they greatly impacted each other’s works. With Rauschenberg’s radical blending of materials and John’s revolutionary breakdown of traditional boundaries that separated fine art from everyday life, the duo set the stage for the Pop Art movement’s aesthetic and influenced many artists after them!<\/p>\n
