A few months ago, at the Barbican Centre in London, the sprawling exhibition Modern Couples: Art, Intimacy and the Avant-garde was held.


It was an immensely ambitious exhibition, whose central theme was the co-existence of creative couples – artists living together – sometimes one person absorbing all of the creative energies of the other, on other occasions, artists co-existing and following their own parallel creative trajectories.


Examples of the latter, of creative couples who lasted together for a number of decades, included Natalia Goncharova and Mikhail Larionov, Barbara Hepworth and Ben Nicholson, Sonia Delaunay and Robert Delaunay, Varvara Stepanova and Alexander Rodchenko, and Sophie Taeuber-Arp and Jean Arp.
