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.

From the Publisher

Explore the homes of the most creative and inspiring artists of past and present.

For seventeen iconic artists, their homes played dynamic and often unexamined roles in their creative process. Their homes served as low-stakes places of experimentation, giving them space, outside of their art, where they could follow their own curiosities.

Each artist’s home includes vibrant, dynamic paintings inspired by archival records and in-person visits, including:

Jean-Michel Basquiat’s Front Door

Henri Matisse’s Living Room

Louis Bourgeois’ Mantel

Claude Monet’s Kitchen

Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant’s Library

Georgia O’Keeffe’s Front Door
