Famous Artist Studios

That sounds more like Brian May... although he was an astrophysicist rather than a "quantum brain surgeon"... whatever that would entail.

It's obviously a surgeon who operates on very small brains.

William-Adolphe Bouguereau & John Singer Sargent in their studios... just the sort of studios you would imagine... and dressed just as you would imagine them dressing. It wasn't until American Art became dominant with Ab-Ex that you got the artists in paint-spattered smocks and jeans.

L S Lowry compromised by painting in a suit - which he then got full of paint splatters.

Love his art and his clothes!

I wouldn’t think of wearing good clothes while I paint. I get colors I’m not even using on my clothes.

Three-piece suits made of the same cloth (sometimes called 'dittos') were casual wear for the middle and upper classes in the 19th century. Lowry's just being old-fashioned.

You're in good company. Picasso clearly obsessively valued even his t-shirts...

Some artist must have done this.......put paint all over their clothes and then do a self pressing. Like those fish imprints on rice paper.

If no one has I may found my ticket to fame. Actually I think a woman artist has done it naked. I would use a painters coverall. And get no sales. It's not fair.

I often paint in just boxers, especially in the summer. But I'm neither gender, so you can't picture what you probably are picturing. Ha ha ha!

As much as we love you, we can't just take your word for it. Photographic evidence is required.

You replied before I could delete!

I am repeatedly impressed at how grungy, grubby, and down-right ugly so many artists’ studios can be in contrast to the work they produce there.
