"Eclipse," 2018, Black, White and Blue, Mixed-Media Collage by Diane Love

"Eclipse," 2018 is a black, white and blue, mixed-media collage with touches of pale green and chartreuse on heavy Arches paper. Bold black shapes confront each other, just short of colliding. The calligraphy in sumi ink suggests an event, only to be subdued by a large photographic fragment that introduces traces of yellow and aubergine. Diane Love says of Eclipse: "I was playing with the energetic relationship between several large black forms I tore from a sheet of matte black paper and how they worked against some large photographic fragments with quiet details in celadon and chartreuse."

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."
