The Artist’s Studio exhibition features ninety photographs (digital reproductions from the original photograph) that open the door to a variety of painters’ and sculptors’ working spaces in the period between the late 19th century and the mid-20th century. The photos have been selected from the Photographic Archives of the Spanish Cultural Heritage Institute (Instituto del Patrimonio Cultural de España), more specifically from the Moreno Photographic Archive that boasts a comprehensive and important collection focused on this topic.
Photos of artists’ studios can be deemed authentic portraits of the artists whether they are present in the room or not. They are a special portrait genre in which the public or professional dimension meets the most intimate, private aspect of a man.
The exhibition has been prepared by the Sub-Directorate General of State Museums of the Ministry of Culture and Sport of Spain and realized by the National Gallery of Slovenia in cooperation with the Embassy of Spain in Slovenia as part of the cultural program of the Spanish Presidency of the Council of the European Union.
