Young Masters - "For the Love of Art History" Open Call

The theme is inspired by Corbett’s own love of art history; a lifelong passion for the old masters, and the art of the past. From masterpieces such as Fragonard’s flirtatious vignette ‘The Swing’, to Klimt’s ‘The Kiss’, or Watteau’s ‘The Scale of Love’ art history offers numerous examples of romantic love. The theme could also be extended to platonic, or religious love, passion, devotion.

Above all, love is the most human of emotions, and art possibly the most human of ways to express it. We’re looking for artists who are inspired by their own love of art history to submit their work on this theme via the CuratorSpace platform until 31 October 2024.We will be announcing a Woman Artist Prize supported by Dr Chris Blatchley, and an Acquisition Prize supported by the Rudolph Blume Foundation as part of the exhibition.
