This charmingly illustrated book invites readers to peer behind the closed doors of 17 legendary and contemporary artists' homes. Peek inside Georgia O' Keeffe' s adobe courtyards. Stroll through Henri Matisse' s vibrant aviary. Peruse Jean-Michel Basquiat' s collection of over 1,000 videotapes. This book invites you inside some of the most creative and inspiring homes of all time. For the 17 artists profiled here, a house or an apartment is not simply a place to eat and sleep; they transform everyday spaces into dynamic reflections of their individual artistic passions. You will gain a deeper appreciation of your favorite artists' work and may just discover a new favorite. Richly illustrated throughout, this petite jacketed hardcover offers a fascinating and inspiring blend of art history, interior design, and armchair travel. * DISTINCTIVE ILLUSTRATED APPROACH: While other books have explored the spaces that housed and inspired artists, they have been exclusively photographic. With vibrant illustrations, this book immerses readers in the atmosphere of each artist' s home more than photos ever could. * DIVERSE RANGE OF ARTISTS: The 17 artists profiled represent a diverse cross section of eras, countries, races, genders, and artistic styles-not to mention a wide range of homes, from a New York City apartment to a renovated English farmhouse. * A FRIENDLY INVITATION TO ART HISTORY: With relatable prose and vibrant illustrations, this book is perfect for anyone looking to casually learn something new. * INTERIOR DECOR INSPIRATION: Readers will surely walk away with ideas for crafting their own creative spaces after reading this book. Perfect for: * Artists and art appreciators * Art history buffs * Interior decor lovers * Travelers and armchair travelers * Podcast listeners and blog readers * Creatives in all industries
