In focusing on the subjects of love and artistic creation, Romanticism captured our imagination more than any other culture movement.
Yet all too often this intensity took the abstract form of love, leading from the human to the divine and from man to an ethereal, other-worldly muse. Post-romanticism brings passion back to earth; finds beauty, sensuality and meaning in our daily, real and contingent lives, and places women, side by side to men, at the center of a mutual artistic inspiration and creation.
