El atelier es el sanctum sanctorum de los artistas, o de muchos artistas, diría yo. Hay tantas variedades como artistas. Algunos mantienen sus estudios limpios y bien organizados. Otros son un chiquero, desordenados, sucios, totalmente una locura. Algunos artistas alquilan estudios lejos de sus hogares, algunos pintan en casa en un área o habitación separada utilizada como estudio. Pero ha habido otros que han pintado en el salón de su casa, sobre una alfombra cara y vestidos con chaqueta de esmoquin, diciéndole al mundo que la pintura pertenece al lienzo y no al suelo. ¿Puedes adivinar quién era ese artista*?
Bueno, hagamos un breve recorrido por los ateliers de algunos de los artistas más famosos en la Historia del Arte y veamos el entorno en el que se encontraban cuando creaban.

The studio is the holy of holies for many artists. There are as many varieties as there are artists. Some studios are clean and well organised. Others are a pig-pen, messy, dirty, totally in disarray. Some artists rent studios away from their homes, some paint in the home in a separate area or room used as a studio. But there have been others who have painted in their home’s salon, on an expensive rug and dressed in smoking jacket and telling the world that he does not create stains, because paint belongs on the canvas and not on the floor. Can you guess who that artist* was?
Well, let’s take a short tour through the studios of some of the most famous artists in Art History and see the environment they were in when they created.
- Dalí; 2) Frida Kahlo; 3)Lucien Freud; 4)Monet; 5) Picasso
- Basquiat; Dorothea Tanning; Giacometti; Leonora Carrington; Louise Bourgeoise
+ Rene Magritte

I thoroughly enjoyed this one Francesc. As for the artist who does not create stains, I’m torn between Salvador Dali – and you. 👨🎨😀

Thank you Malc. You know I never used to create stains or have paint on the floor and I painted in my salon for a few years, but now in my studio I’m a little less careful, though I still protect the floor. Instinctively I reckon. But Magritte, what a guy! Sitting there with his smoking on top of an explosive Persian rug! All the best my friend!

You’re welcome Malc and a great Sunday to you too. It is very, very hot in this part of the Aegean Sea! Good grief!

Strangely enough I’m scanning some old prints I took on Santorini as we speak.

Ah, Santorini, although I have never been there, it is an island that I would love to visit. It is still like 40 degrees here and I have had to run the climate conditioner! And getting ready for a cold pint! (Turkish beer is very good!)
