A good studio for an artist is a significant place. Creative studios might sometimes look like a pile of rubbish or a mixed-up room, but this is where famous artists' paintings are born!
Look at this assemblage of the greatest artists and their most intimate working places – their studios. I bet you’ve seen many of their works in museums and art history books, but the artist and his studio are often left unseen.
From Salvador Dali’s artist studio full of beautiful women to Pablo Picasso’s decorated hall to David Lynch’s industrial-looking creative space to Francis Bacon’s utter chaos, these photos are intentionally mixed up. You will find both very famous artists and somewhat less popular painters, sculptors, architects, and even their Muses. Some of them are contemporary, but you will also find genius classical masters.
Enjoy the collection!

It's not this room and not even this house. This was his family living room where all family members played piano (Čiurlionis family had ~9 kids). Most of Mikalojus paintings were actually done in Poland and the ones he made in Lithuania were painted in the guest house a couple of meters from the main family house, but not this one.

His space only scored a six, but what do you do when you are considered a decadent artist by the German leaders. His art is a 100 and so was he.

I love to see the places where art was made. It sometimes makes the pieces more interesting to ponder!

I think you forgot the most spectacular. Carlos Relvas House Studio built in 1875. A portuguese "amatour" photographer. Check it please!! ;)
