Friends, lovers, confidantes, collaborators - the multi-facteted relationship between husband and wife takes on another dimension when the couple are also artist and muse. In this volume, Arthur Ollman explores the imagery and photographic history of nine 20th-century photographers who used their wives as models over a period of years, in images ranging from stark nudes on the sand to aproned mothers in the kitchen. The featured photographers and their wives include Alfred Stieglitz and Georgia O'Keeffe, Harry Callahan and Eleanor Callahan and Nicholas Nixon and Bebe Nixon. The text offers a viewpoint on photography and marriage in an introductory overview and essays on each couple.
