Description
The artist's studio has long been an idealized utopia and a domain of hard work. This cultural history charts the myth and reality of the creative space from Ancient Greece to the present day, revealing how it has evolved over time. From ancient times to the present, the artist's workplace has been portrayed in various ways - through written descriptions, paintings, prints, and photographs. However, these images often distort as much as they document the truth. This book aims to correct this imbalance by exploring the history of the studio space, including the contributions of artisans who collaborated with artists. The book features a range of images from around the world, showcasing key studios, individuals, trends, and turning points in the history of the creative space.
