The Artist in His Studio by Alexander Liberman is a remarkable photographic document of the artists and studios of the École de Paris.
First published in 1960, Liberman combines intimate portraits with photographs of artists at work and the environments surrounding them. The book offers an unusually personal glimpse into the studios of some of the most influential artists of the 20th century, including Henri Matisse, Georges Braque, Raoul Dufy, Fernand Léger, Pablo Picasso, Wassily Kandinsky, Joan Miró, Marc Chagall and Alberto Giacometti.
Rather than simply documenting finished works, Liberman captures the working spaces themselves — easels, palettes, unfinished paintings, furniture, objects and the everyday surroundings that shaped each artist's creative life. The result is as much a document of modernist interiors and artistic culture as it is a book about art.
A particularly appealing piece for collectors of art books, modernism and vintage design, with beautifully reproduced colour and black-and-white photography throughout.
1960 Viking Press edition.
Very good vintage condition. The book presents well with only minor signs of age and handling consistent with its vintage. The dust jacket/outer covering shows some light wear. Interior pages are clean and well preserved, with the binding remaining sound. Please refer to photographs for the exact condition.
