This is great! I love seeing the spaces where great art has been made. That said, Francis Bacon's studio is terrifying and says a lot about him and the haunting paintings that emerged from that space.
Yes, several of them (Calder, Kahlo, Matisse, Bacon, Miro, DeKooning, and Chagall)! The visual artists were easier for me as I recognized their style or knew what they looked like. I was trying to place Braque by the New Guinea shield on his wall. I knew it wasn't Picasso (who also had a lot of tribal art), but I'm not sure if I have ever even seen a photo of Braque.
You did well then! But I figured you would, being an artists and teacher. I probably wouldn't have done so well, except for the writers, Kahlo and Chagall.

I'm glad you enjoyed this, Michael. Were you able to match any of the artists with quotes?
