Life Meets Art : Inside the Homes of the World’s Most Creative People

This book features approximately 250 homes of world-renowned artists in the fields of art, architecture, design, fashion, literature, music, and film, along with photographs of their own homes. It includes rooms of all styles, dating back as far as six centuries ago and picked from more than 30 countries. From historical figures to creators who are still active in the field, we can take a peek into their extraordinary living spaces.

The interiors condense the hidden history of who they lived and studied with, what glories and tragedies they experienced, what skills and inspirations they acquired, and what aspirations, failures, conflicts, and troubles they faced. This is a book that provides an insight into the “rooms” that accompanied their creative lives.
