Nearly half a century after their creation, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.theartofelainegignilliat.com/collection" rel="nofollow noopener">Elaine Gignilliat’s</a> remarkable romance cover paintings are being shown publicly for the first time.
Through a panel conversation featuring Gignilliat's daughter, Laura Sawyer, and voices from art history and the romance community, we'll explore how Gignilliat used composition, color, historical settings, and the expressive language of the human figure to capture the drama, desire, and emotional complexity of human relationships.
Featuring new additions to the exhibition alongside paintings already on view, the evening offers a chance to experience these remarkable works at full scale and discover the extraordinary artistry behind their familiar paperback covers.
Together, we'll look beyond the book covers to discover the artistry behind these paintings, their place in the history of romance, and what makes them compelling works of art in their own right.
