Some important notes!: 1) We were so overcome with love for John Cage and Merce Cunningham that we switched their names in their heart pictures at 5:53. Inexcusable. Hopefully by the end of the section, we will have correctly attributed them enough to make up for it. 2) Hoodies can be purchased here: store.dftba.com/collections/the-art-assignment 3) That couple you're mad I didn't mention is probably mentioned near the end. And if not, kindly list them here.

@@Skukkix23 she does (or at least did) and is quite good at it (according to John), but she didn't go into making it as a career (curatorship was her preferred path). I think these videos are her public facing art now.

What I really love about these is that they aren't "love stories". They are stories of human partnership and collaboration in which the partners happen to also snog each others lips. I love art and creation as this collaborative, human experiment, and the idea of finding a person, romantic or not, that you love spending time with and creates on the right wavelength to compliment yours is so wonderful. Plus if they also happen to want to kiss your face.

Funny most artist couples i know are LGBT, i was kinda surprised to learn about the straight couples

From the world of literature, the artist couple that comes to mind are Elizabeth Barrett and Robert Browning, who have a fascinating love story that influenced each others poetry.

my one true love is Art Assignment

Stieglitz and o'keefe had a really interesting relationship. Many affairs, ups and downs, but they helped each other hugely develop their work.

My boyfriend and I make novels together. He is the novelist and I’m the illustrator and the one giving inspirations and feedbacks and stuff, but we also discuss literature, politics and philosophy. I’m really thankful that our relationship and our creative process are helping one another to grow artistically and as a well being. In fact his creativity is one quality that attracted me. Glad to have a partner to be with me to do fun art stuff together! And thank you for giving more insight to how such romantic relationship influences two artists/experts’ works in their field! I didn’t know much about art couples before watching the video.

Never ever break up, this is too wholesome to end

The thing so amazing about the art assignment is that no matter what mood I am in, no matter the day or the time or my mental state the art assignment fills me with a genuine feeling of community and acceptance. I often feel alone in my interests in art history but with the art assignment I am given a space to express my love. Keep up the great work

Couple things I love about this video: 1) Sara (and the whole team then) are so dedicated to a truly educational and focused show - not one mention of her own love interests at all 2) all the LGBTQ couples were talked about and treated the exact same way as the straight couples, focusing more on what they meant to each other than what their relationship meant to the world (not any more or less than the other couples at least). Truly equal. Thank you for the awesome content!

Thank you for your excellent posts! When I want to run and hide from this crazy world I find an Art Assignment post to watch.

What!? No Gala+Dalí?

Omg I can't believe you mentioned Jersey! So few people know about our little island I had no idea the first pair fled here!

there is a PBS logo inside a heart shaped balloon - how fitting !

We will surely need one more video like this because it will keep reminding us that how much love has influenced in creating the history of art.

Vincent Van Gogh and his sentience to the world and the people around him. 🖤🖤🖤

Art does not have to be an isolated thing. Yay!

That sweatshirt is absolutely gorgeous and I'm so jealous that you have one. If only I had the funds to buy one myself😍😣

I am not a religious person, but... "this is not a sentimental video about the great power of love between artists" ... thank god

Thank you for this loveliest of Valentines.

I love this channel so much and this was so good. Thank you.

thank you for this channel!!

This was an eye opener! Some of those couples I'd never even have thought...

I love this channel so much♥️

LOVING the diversity in the couples chosen for this video!

That was great! Thank you so much. 😊

Would love to see a video on artist groups! Not necessarily artists who collaborated or were part of a collective, but those that gathered for the sake of intellectual conversation or parties, i.e. The Factory, The Four (Glasgow), The Bloomsbury Group, Stein's Salons, etc. Love The Art Assignment!

love that you talked about merce cunningham and john cage!!! i learned about them in my dance history course in uni. always happy to be dance talked about on this show!

This was amazing! You should talk more about artists who collaborate!

More of these please 😃 I want to hear about all of these collaborations!

Jan Svankmajer and Eva Svankmajerova; Yuri Norstein and Francesca Yarbusova--both pairs making such brilliant stop motion animation.

i love how representative this was

Wrt contemporary artists in love, I'm still obsessed with Sue Webster and Tim Noble. The way their work is collaborative or plays off one another is an undeniably fascinating aspect of their work, to me anyway. Their shadow sculptures still stun me.

Beautiful.

This video blew my mind in many ways.

I LOVED this episode.

The giant shuttlecocks at the Nelson Atkins are a major sweetpoint in my relationship with my partner. I hadnt realised how lovely the backstory was! I adore this video to pieces ♡♡♡

this was a great video ❤ loved it!

Would love to see a part 2, 3, etc :)

That hoodie!

lots of love,subscribed!

What a fantastic video! I hadn’t heard of many of these artists (or collaborations) before and now I must go do lots more research.🤓 Ps.The 🤷🏻‍♀️ moment was perfect.

Thanks for a positive story. :)

Bernd and Hilla Becher! What a wonderful video!

I want Eames😭😭😭 I DEMAND A PART 2...A SERIES I RECKON!!!!

Me whenever you guys mention something at the Nelson Atkins: 😍😄 “that’s my museum!” 💗

This was a really nice treat! And just in time for Valentine's 😊 As usual, it was very informative, although you did neglect to mention a couple whose created and curated content I love. They're Sarah and John Green. Really cool people; I think you'd like them 😉. Lol, Great video, Sarah!

The Clothespin and the Button by Oldenburg are my favorite pieces of public art here in Philly, and they have some stiff competition.

the hoodie is soooooo coooollll

i don't know if this was on purpose but one thing i loved loved loved was that as soon as you introduced Cahun and Moore as using gender neutral names, you used (almost) no gendered terms when discussing them. It's videos like this that i'd like to show to everyone who finds it a hassle, or argues that it takes too much work to include gender neutral terms, as well as showcasing non-heteronormative or solely white relationships when discussing arts, history, and Important People therein. Thank you

My Phone: 5% battery left Me: *clicks on Art Assignment video*

Thank you!

I loved the video with the passion that I love their creative approach and I hit myself hard cause you didn't mention the Eames I guess. They deserved a story to say the least. I'll wait for the next video to watch their story...loved this one anyway!!

I love this channel

there needs to be a part two of this video.

I LOVE LOVE!

This 'continuation' requires a collaborative book.

Really like the hoodie

Despite some of the derision that Andrew Wyeth received from critics, I find his work amazing in it's skill, color and subject. Obviously there was an amazing connection between Wyeth and Helga. :-) I'd also have to mention Picasso and ALL of his women (Fernande Olivier, Olga Khoklova, Marie-Thérèse Walter, Dora Maar, Françoise Gilot and Jacqueline Roque) because he himself admitted that women were his greatest inspirations.

I haven’t watched the video yet, I assume it’s as well made as the rest, but I have to say I love the new sweatshirt and I wish you could draw on the black with chalk. That way you could constantly add new and different art to it.

Love it

I know a local artist (painter, Ruth Neustadter) who was a dancer with Cunningham. I created and run a NJ non profit working in community development via fine arts. I have been trying for more than 5 years to get Ruth to show in Newark . At one time, she taught art in the Newark public school system but I can't get her attention

That hoodie is fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

i am in love with you, art assignment

Awesome video love is th answer

OMG, what a great hoddie!!!

I learned a lot from this video. Thank you. I know it’s a bit different from your focus on collaboration, but I was hoping you would have mentioned Manet and Morisot.

brilliant

also leo and diane dillion! great video

my favorite contemporary collaboration is Aivi and Surasshu! Though they’re musicians, I love the way their styles play off each other

What a beautiful video, as always. You always explain things so clearly and beautifuly, I could watch these for hours! :) Btw, lately I've become interested in maximalism, yet I struggle to find informative and interesting videos about the subject. Since you've done a great video about minimalism, I think it'd be great if you dedicate a video to maximalism as well.

John and Hank are art partners and even say "I love you" thanks to Esther!

I appreciate these videos but I have to say, the hair looks so good on you

I love the video, well all of them, really. Wanted to point out tho that Bauhaus opened up for women not only textiles but at first ceramics as well and later encouraged them to choose other specializations.
