Relationship Journals

These were personal journals that Lenkiewicz encouraged many of his significant others to write during the course of their relationship with the artist. Some of these are richly illustrated (both by Lenkiewicz himself and the sitters) and run to several volumes.

When Lenkiewicz’s partners agreed to create these journals, which apparently contain the most intimate private reflections of their authors, it was on the understanding that the notes would pass into Lenkiewicz’s possession, to be bound as books and kept in his library as an archive of material about obsessive behaviour or “the falling in love experience”.
