This book describes how architects collaborated with artists in the creation of studios and studio-dwellings. Looking at the studios of ten individual artists and three artist-couples between 1892 and 1938, it reveals how the illustrated press shaped the image of the modern artist, and the ways in which architecture conveyed personal values, artistic affinities and professional aspirations.Studios are discussed not simply in terms of architectural design, but as places whose character derived from the tastes and needs of their users. Relationships between artist and architect shifted significantly between the fin-de-siècle and the Second World War. Rather than allowing their architects a free hand, artists proved demanding and opinionated clients. Their interaction illuminates the changing nature of architectural practice in the first part of the 20th century, and how artists survived in a volatile art market. The book – focused on studio life as much as studio architecture – offers a fresh perspective on British art in the modern period.
