Artists in Their Studios

Archives of American Art

From the sumptuously furnished studios of the late 19th century to the austere workrooms of the present day, studio spaces have played a dynamic role in the history of American art-not simply reflecting aesthetic visions, but informing them.

This look at artists in their studios, through photographs and documents from the Smithsonian’s Archives of American Art, offers a behind-the-scenes view into the life of American artists and their unique work spaces.

Don’t miss the companion book, Artists in Their Studios: Images from the Smithsonian’s Archives of American Art.
