Note 373 — CHAPTER 16 THE BEGINNINGS OF THE ART NOUVEAU: VICTOR HORTA

Some studio houses were certainly built in France by leading architects throughout the second half of the nineteenth century: The one that Viollet-le-Duc provided for the painter Constant Troyon in the late fifties was of notable interest—in fact, one of his best works. Moreover, the more modest ateliers d’ artiste erected by builders provided much later, in the 1920s, precedents of value to Le Corbusier and Lurçat. See Banham, R., ‘Ateliers d’artiste’, Architectural Review, CXX (1956), 75-83.
