Great Book
By MD on 3 Dec. 2013
Format: Paperback
This is one of my all time favorites. I have had this book for years and keep coming back to it. It satisfies the curiosity of the artist. It is a window into artist studios and a glimpse in their life and work. I love it. It also features some of my favorite artists.

Takes you inside the creative process 10 Sept. 2009
By Anthony Pinto - Published on Amazon.com
Format: Paperback
This book needs a little explaining: it's partly an art monograph - showing Joe Fig's artwork - and partly interviews with 24 artists, some famous and some obscure.

Joe Fig is an artist whose artwork is based upon the way other artists work. He creates sculptures and paintings showing other artists at work in their studios.

To accomplish this, he needs reference material: Fig contacts the artists, visits with them in their studios, takes pictures, and asks work- and process-related questions. Then Fig goes to his own studio to create highly realistic mini-scultpures based upon the photos and information that he gathered.

After interviewing 50+ artists for his own artwork, Fig has gathered a treasure trove of valuable information. "Inside the Painter's Studio" gathers 24 of those interviews and images that Fig took of the artist's studios, juxtaposed alongside images of the sculptures that he created based upon the photos and interviews.

Some of the artists interviewed include art world stars like Ross Bleckner, Chuck Close, Eric Fischl, April Gornik, and Philip Pearlstein. Many of the other artists I had not heard of, but enjoyed discovering their work and listening to what information they had to share.

He asked all the artists the same series of questions, including, "What kind of paints do you use?", "How long have you been in this studio?", "Do you listen to music or TV when you work?". Real nitty-gritty stuff that, as an artist, I find very interesting.

I was surprised to discover that the last two questions that he asked each artist I found the most valuable: "Do you have a motto or creed that as an artist you live by?" and "What advice would you give a young artist that is just starting out?" All of them have valuable advice to give that is really good and sincere. In fact, after I had read the book through once, I went back and just re-read those last two questions in every interview. I found them extremely helpful and inspiring.

If you are an artist, or just enjoy reading about the process of making art, I highly recommend this book.

Inside The Painter's Studio 14 Oct. 2009
By Anthony M. Glorioso - Published on Amazon.com
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This is an incredible insight to artists and how they work. A wonderful book for art lovers and even people who aren't into art that much. It's a great commentary on "workspace" in general and can be applied to all of us.

Fascination Times Two 6 Jan. 2010
By LKP - Published on Amazon.com
Format: Paperback
Does this happen to you? I just bought this wonderful book "Inside the Painter's Studio" for a good friend of mine. Sure, I will undoubtedly hand it over to her at lunch today.....but I am very tempted to keep it. When I picked it up at my local indie book store, it seemed to be a fascinating book about painter's studios. Well, good enough. I knew Betzi would love it. But, when I got it home I realized the additional bonanza of discovering Joe Fig's astounding replica/mixed-media renditions of these studios. They are (gasp) ultra convincing. How does he do it? His work puts me in mind of another brilliant artist, Charles Matton, who does astounding miniature environments; often artist's studios and librairies. So, in short, the book delivers on both fronts: it is a wonderful behind-the-scenes book of interviews and insights from a selection of fascinating painters PLUS we get to see the uncanny work of Joe Fig. I just wrote a book on artist's studios, "Art-Making & Studio Spaces" (published by Quarry) and can attest that meeting with artists in their intimate work spaces is a real treat. Not only was I able to feature the work spaces of artists I had known for years - but it was a convenient "excuse" to finally meet long-admired artists like Armando Lopez of New Mexico and Fred Otnes of Connecticut. Clearly, I need my OWN copy of
"Inside the Painter's Studio" to add to my growing collection of books on artist's studios -- it is a topic that is finally getting some overdue recognition. Highly recommended, for many reasons.

excellent, just excellent 21 Oct. 2009
By Dorian Nisinson - Published on Amazon.com
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I haven't enjoyed a book about art as much as this one in a long time. There was none of the cringe-worthy chat that makes you wonder if the person writing it had actually looked at art for the pleasure of it as opposed to looking at the art as a starting point for their discussion.

How we are 19 Oct. 2009
By S. R. Sopha - Published on Amazon.com
Format: Paperback
I love books that explain me to myself...seriously! This book; if you are an artist, will provide for a few days of community. It's like sitting down with 20 (?) art makers and taking turns telling one another how you do stuff. It even made me realize how much I love my painting table, and my palette knife; which I have had for 18 years. Great fun and job Mr. Joe Fig.
