Genius fascinates me, as I am sure it does many others. By its nature it is hard to understand, but I think seeing artist’s creative space gives a clue to their genius; how the artist sees, thinks, what influences them, etc.
Over the years I’ve earmarked photos of artist’s studios for this very reason. It’s an ever growing list, but below are some of my favourites.
Francis Bacon
Alberto Giacometti
Henri Mattisse (Hotel Regina, Nice)
Cy Twombly (Rome)
Henry Moore
Lucien Freud
Claude Monet
Robert Rauschenberg
Willem de Kooning
Jackson Pollok
Charles-Édouard Jeanneret (Le Crobusier)
Oh my distorted smile!
