Studio Lives: Architect, Art and Artist in 20th-Century Britain
Studio Lives: Architect, Art and Artist in 20th-Century Britain
This book reveals the ways in which artists used architecture by examining the studios and studio-houses used by British artists between 1900 and 1940.
It shows British artists coming to terms with the past, and inventing different modes of being modern, collaborating with architects and influencing the modernist style. In its scrutiny of the physical surroundings of artistic life during this period, the book sheds insight into how the studio environment articulated personal values, artistic affinities and professional aspirations.
Not only does it consider the studio in terms of architectural design, but also in the light of the artist’s work and life in the studio, and the market for contemporary art. By showing how artists navigated the volatile market for contemporary art during a troubled time, the book provides a new perspective on British art.
