Klappentext zu „The Artist's Studio: A Cultural History - A Times Best Art Book of 2022 “
An exciting narrative and visual history of the artist's studio, examining the myth and reality of the creative space from early times to today.The artist's workplace has always been an imaginary as well as an actual location, an idealized utopia as well as the domain of dirty, back-breaking work. Written descriptions, paintings, prints and even photographs of the artist's atelier distort as much as they document. This pioneering cultural history charts the myth and reality of the creative space from Ancient Greece to the present day.
Tracing a history that extends far beyond the bohemian, romantic and renaissance cults of the artist, each chapter focuses on key developments of the studio space as seen in a variety of familiar and unfamiliar images. Mythical and divine makers, and some amateurs, are included, and so too are craftspeople - workers in metal and wood, potters, illuminators, weavers, embroiderers and architects to name a few. Each carefully chosen example is placed within a cultural and political context, with the aim of correcting the historical imbalance that has long overlooked the many artisans who collaborated with artists. Leading authority James Hall also extends the discussion to the artist's museum and the artist's house, as well plein air painting and the development of portable studios.

Pressezitat
'Innovative and wide-ranging ... James Hall's breadth of reference - and choice of images - is impressive, from Greek red figure vases to Francis Bacon's paint-encrusted and cluttered workspace via Renaissance workshops and the Victorian war chronicler Roger Fenton's mobile photographic carriage ... [the studio] has, as Hall persuasively argues, been integral in artists projecting themselves as being more than mere craftsmen' - The Times, Art Books of the Year
