The term «house of art» designates the cultural phenomenon and creative mode in modernity associated with an artist’s residence as his own creation and as his product of a need to create which is unfulfilled in the painter’s, writer’s or composer’s actual field. This book discusses the most important of these creations from the 18th century to the beginning of the 20th, including gardens as well as the artist’s space, broadly understood, annexed by his imagination. An artist’s shaping of his own residence was most commonly a secondary area of his creative work. The formula for a «house of art» is specific to the particular artist and does not have to fit within any given architectural or decorative style. It may conform to the traditions of a residence (artist’s palace, cottage etc), but most often it forms an individual case.
Andrzej Pieńkos is Professor at the Institute of Art History at the University of Warsaw, Poland. He was a guest researcher at the Universities of Mainz and Vienna and lectured in Geneva, Rennes, and Paris, where he was granted a Mellon Fellowship. He authored several books and edited numerous publications on the houses of artists.
