Vivre D'art : Les Intérieurs Des Plus Grands Artistes Et Créateurs

Spanning six centuries and over 30 countries, this book offers an unparalleled behind-the-scenes tour of 250 interiors of major figures in the fields of art, architecture, design, fashion, literature, music, film and theatre. These unique spaces showcase the places where history's greatest creators lived, perfected their art and, in many cases, created some of the world's most famous masterpieces.

The interiors include the homes of masters from past centuries - such as Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael and Rubens, Handel, Lizst and Verdi and Dickens, Byron and Coleridge - as well as 20th-century stars and personalities who left their mark on their era - including Frank Lloyd Wright, Eileen Gray, Le Corbusier and Walter Gropius, Picasso, Chagall and Henry Moore, Hemingway, Faulkner and Agatha Christie, Louis Armstrong, Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley - and some of today's most celebrated talents, including Francisco Clemente, Alexander McQueen, Marc Jacobs and Diane von Fürstenberg, Moby, Jimmy Page and David Bowie.

Arranged alphabetically by artist, each interior is accompanied by a colour photograph and a short descriptive text, including whether the house is open to the public or private.
