Gilbert and George

They met in 1967, in London, at St Martin’s School of Art. Was it love at first sight? “No,” says George. “We never thought ‘Let’s do art together!’” He describes their relationship as a friendship, something that came about slowly and imperceptibly, “like an atmosphere – or a cloud.”

Frances Loring and Florence Wyle

There are four links below. Click on images to enlarge.

Loring and Wyle are usually connected with each other because their relationship, both personal and professional, lasted for over 60 years…In 1913, Loring and Wyle moved to Toronto, where they began being referred to as “The Girls.” Both of them quickly became major forces in the city and across the country, getting major commissions during World War I and II…They died three weeks apart in 1968. ~Wikipedia
