Through essays and catalogue entries, the book explores the role of the studio, as both a practical space for artmaking and a constant source of inspiration to artists and writers. Themes covered include the opulent and humble studio; the palette and pigment sets as symbols of the artist; the rise of the female model; the use of plaster casts, mannequins, prints, photographs and drawings; the contrast between the romantic fires of inspiration and the cold bohemian stove; innovations in window design and lighting; the emergence of the corner of the studio as a privileged zone, taking inspiration from��mile Zola's cult of the corner, and from Lawrence Alma-Tadema's�In My Studio�(1893), which belonged to Frederic Leighton and has recently been acquired by Leighton House.","brand":"Anita Sganzerla","offers":[{"title":"176 pages, 122 b-w and colour illus \/ 24\/11\/2026 \/ Exhibition catalogues \u0026 specific collections","offer_id":57638044664183,"sku":"9781917976169","price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/gulpfictionbooks.com\/products\/9781917976169","provider":"Gulp Fiction","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
