Artistsâ homes from 1880 to the twentieth century.
As treasure troves of creativity, the homes of artists reflect the intellectual worlds of their creators. Starting with the Villa Stuck in Munichâthe aesthetic, conceptual cosmos and lifeâs work of the aristocratic artist Franz von Stuckâthis unique volume integrates the artistâs house as a category into the international context and is the first to assign these buildings the status of major works. About twenty examples bring to life the fascination that these artistic fantasies hold for art lovers, including both existing projects and some which, although they have been lost, were of unique importance in their day and still retain their charisma. Along with paintings, sculptures, and photographs closely related to the houses, plans and models convey the correlation between art and life as well as the kind of harmony of the arts expressed in Richard Wagnerâs historical concept of the total work of art.
