"Cha Cha," 2020 a Large Black, White and Blue Collage by Diane Love

Creator: Diane Love
Offered by: Amy Zook

Description
"Cha Cha," 2020 is a large unframed white and blue abstract mixed-media collage on heavy arches paper from the series, "Musical Sheets."
In this work Diane started with several calligraphic strokes and built on them. The background has traces of pentimento that echo the matte blue collage elements.
Diane's shares her thought process for "Cha Cha:" I was looking through a book of maters of Japanese Calligraphy and was taken with the enormous variety of line and stroke to make the characters, "Cha Cha" was inspired by one of the scrolls in the book.
"Cha Cha" can be paired with other works from the series, "Jazz", "Syncopation" and "The Continental" featured in below in the photographs.

Diane has always felt that art has been her lifelong companion providing her with the freedom to express herself with a multitude of mediums and materials.
For nearly two decades Diane Love's eponymous shop on Madison Avenue in Manhattan embraced the Scope of her creativity where she sold her home accessory and fashion creations which are still collected today. She soon established herself as a style icon in her own right with A-list tastemakers such as Jackie Onassis, Estée Lauder, Albert Hadley, Sister Parish, Mario Buatta and Valentino. Major department stores and companies such as Mikasa, Trifari and Saks Fifth Avenue licensed her wide ranging lifestyle and fashion products to distribute and Bloomingdale's housed its own Diane Love boutique. During the 1970s, Diane's spectacular floral arrangements caught the eye of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the New York City Opera who both hired her as a flower consultant while Macmillan, Inc, published her first book, "Flowers Are Fabulous For Decorating."

After Diane closed her shop in 1986 to pursue her passion in Fine Art, she has had 11 solo exhibitions of her paintings and photographs, and is currently represented by a prestigious gallery in New York. She authored, "YES/NO DESIGN," published by Rizzoli, New York and by Flammarion, in Paris.

In her numerous pursuits, Fine Art, photography, writing, fashion, flower arranging, acting and as a cabaret singer, Diane Love is best described as a Renaissance woman.
