Aprašymas

Studios of Their Own travels around the world examining the unique spaces in which famous artists created their most notable works, and the habits and routines they followed.

Fans of art have always wondered about how artists create. What do they require of their studio? Do they work in silence or with music, in a shared space or in solitude? How do they harness the light? And how does the physical space affect and inspire their output? The truth is, each artist is different. Monet created an inspirational garden in which to work en plein air and paint his infamous water lilies. Frida Kahlo was sometimes forced to work from her bed, inspired by the lucky talismans she surrounded herself with. Based in an old stable, Basquiat could turn anything into canvas, walking and lying on his works as he created them. Lee Krasner's art dramatically changed when she moved from her small studio into the larger, light-filled one that she took over when her husband, Jackson Pollock, died.

Crossing centuries, continents and genres, readers will be transported to other worlds, find inspiration and gain deeper insight into their most-loved work
