All works of art carry innately personal stories about how they came to be. Artland’s Stories of Iconic Artworks series investigates these stories, elucidating the anecdotal narratives and received histories associated with seminal, iconic or just famous works of art made by artists renowned for their innovative contributions to their chosen media.
