Course Description

Instructors: Jill Parks and Molly Holcombe

Throughout history, certain partnerships have done more than share a life—they have altered the direction of art, politics, science, and popular culture. This class explores the extraordinary, complicated, and often combustible relationships between iconic couples whose creative or destructive bonds reshaped culture. From passionate collaborators to volatile muses, from partners in art to partners in crime, these couples reveal how intimacy can spark innovation, amplify genius, or ignite catastrophe.

Four couples will be presented each week: their creative output, personal struggles, and lasting cultural impact. Week 1 – Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow, Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash, Desi Arnaz and Lucille Ball. Week 2 – Frank Lloyd Wright and Mahmah Borthwick Cheney, John Lennon and Yoko Ono, Truman Capote and Harper Lee, Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald.
