On Love

On Love

“To love or have loved - that is enough. Demand nothing more. There is no other pearl to be found in the shadowy folds of life.” - Victor Hugo

An artfully illustrated book of poetry, literary excerpts, and musings on the noblest human emotion: love. From Viktor Frankl's insight that "love is the ultimate and highest goal to which man can aspire" to Rilke's humble desire "with only this one dream: you come too," this exquisite collection speaks to all of us at a time when loving one another seems more important than ever.

This artful pocket edition is illustrated by Obvious State Founder, Evan Robertson and is printed in the United States on beautiful premium paper. It makes a great gift for literature and art lovers alike.

About Us

Obvious State is a creative studio and independent press founded by Nichole and Evan Robertson in 2011. We make bold, conceptual art that makes you think again.

In the age of clickbait, infotainment, and overstimulation, slow thought has become a luxury. Our work exists to change that. Every piece is handcrafted by Evan — art and language that provoke thought, inspire curiosity, and make the ideas that have always mattered feel urgent again.

Our books and prints are available in our shop and in bookstores and boutiques nationwide.

Our work has been featured at The Folger Shakespeare Library, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The American Writers Museum, The Emily Dickinson Museum, The Library of Congress, The Getty Museum, The Museum of Contemporary Art and more.
