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.
The understanding and enjoyment of a work of art depends as much on
the story it depicts as on the artist's execution of it. But what
were once biblical or classical commonplaces are not so readily
recognizable today. This book relates in a succinct and readable
way the themes, sacred and secular, on which the repertoire of
Western art is based. Combined here in a single volume are
religious, classical, and historical themes, figures of moral
allegory, and characters from romantic poetry that appeared
throughout paintings and sculpture in Western art before and after
the Renaissance. More than just a dictionary, this text places
these subjects in their narrative, historical, or mythological
context and uses extensive cross-referencing to enhance and clarify
the meanings of these themes for the reader.The definitive work by
which others are compared, this volume has become an indispensable
handbook for students and general appreciators alike. This wholly
redesigned second edition includes a new insert of images chosen by
the author, as well as a new preface and index to highlight the
ideas, beliefs, and social and religious customs that form the
background of much of this subject matter.
