Artists in Their Studios

Exhibited in AAA's Lawrence A. Fleischman Gallery in the Reynolds Center for American Art and Portraiture
July 1, 2006 through October 27, 2006

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.
