Wholesale Heart Art by Susan Klein

[ACC Art Books] The heart is one of art history’s most enduring images. For us, the heart is a ubiquitous symbol of devotion, emotion, and romance. In Heart Art, authors Susan Klein and Cynthia Schaffner give readers a fascinating and often surprising iconographic tour of the heart in modern and contemporary art. With beautiful illustrations throughout, they show how artists use the heart to express their feelings toward the power of love, religious passion, cherished friendship, creativity, and the divine, among many other subjects. From Henri Matisse’s “drawings with scissors” and Alexander Calder’s standing mobiles, to Jim Dine’s straw sculptures and Jeff Koons’ hanging hearts, Heart Art makes for a special addition to anyone’s art history library, or the perfect Valentine’s Day gift.
