A room of one’s own
What might an artist’s interpretation of their studio tell us about them? That’s the question posed by a new exhibition at east London’s Whitechapel Gallery, which surveys the diverse ways that creatives have captured their workspaces.
‘A Century of the Artist’s Studio 1920 – 2020’ presents everything from abandoned factories to cramped attic rooms in paintings, sculpture and film,
as well as a series of reconstructed ‘studio corners’. Look out for Picasso’s expressive L’Atelier, as well as an evocative crayon drawing by Austrian painter
Egon Schiele. From 17 February – 29 May 2022 (whitechapelgallery.org).
