| book description |

As treasure troves of creativity, the homes of artists reflect the intellectual worlds of their creators. Starting with the Villa Stuck in Munichâ€”the aesthetic, conceptual cosmos and lifeâ€™s work of the aristocratic artist Franz von Stuckâ€”this unique volume integrates the artistâ€™s house as a category into the international context and is the first to assign these buildings the status of major works. About twenty examples bring to life the fascination that these artistic fantasies hold for art lovers, including both existing projects and some which, although they have been lost, were of unique importance in their day and still retain their charisma. Along with paintings, sculptures, and photographs closely related to the houses, plans and models convey the correlation between art and life as well as the kind of harmony of the arts expressed in Richard Wagnerâ€™s historical concept of the total work of art. Houses featured (selection): Sir John Soaneâ€™s Museum, London; William Morris Red House, Bexleyheath; Louis Comfort Tiffanyâ€™s Tiffany House, New York City; Mortimer Menpesâ€™s flat, London; the Fernand Khnopff Villa, Brussels; Jacques Majorelleâ€™s villa and garden, Marrakesh; Kurt Schwittersâ€™ MERZbau, Hannover; Max Ernstâ€™s house, Arizona
