About the ArtPlace Series

This book is part of the ArtPlace series published by Roaring Forties Press. Each book in the series explores how a renowned artist and a world-famous city or area helped to define and inspire each other. ArtPlace volumes are intended to stimulate both eye and mind, offering a rich mix of art and photography, history and biography, ideas and information. While the books can be used by tourists to navigate and illuminate their way through cityscapes and landscapes, the volumes can also be read by armchair travelers in search of an engrossing and revealing story.

Other titles include A Journey into Dorothy Parker’s New York, A Journey into Steinbeck’s California, A Journey into the Transcendentalists’ New England, A Journey into Flaubert’s Normandy, A Journey into Matisse’s South of France, and A Journey into Ireland’s Literary Revival.
