Reviews"A charming selection of everyday snapshots depicting artists on vacation, at parties and with their dogs.. Merry A. Foresta's informative text contains tidbits as surprising and intimate as the photos." -New York Times -- -, "This collection of over 100 rarely-seen snapshots from the private papers of many of the artists peels a way a layer of mystique and provides a glimpse into the subtle ways in which they appeared to unwind like the rest of us." -WashingtonPost.com -- -, "The Smithsonian's archives contain hundreds of photos of 20th-century artists away from their studios. From Pablo Picasso to Frida Kahlo, they are captured on the beach, carving a turkey, petting their dog. More than 100 of these are collected in a new book called Artists Unframed.

SynopsisTucked away among the letters, diaries, and other ephemera in the Smithsonian's archives lies a trove of rarely seen snapshots of some of the twentieth century's most celebrated artists. Unlike the familiar official portraits and genius-at-work shots, these humble snaps capture creative giants with their guard down, in the moment, living life. Pablo Picasso stands proudly on a balcony with young daughter Maya a tiny, meticulously inked annotation penned by an unknown hand proclaims that "he's very much in love." Jackson Pollock morosely carves a turkey while his mother, Stella, and wife, Lee Krasner, look on. A young Andy Warhol clowns for the camera with college friend Philip Pearlstein, and in a later shot more closely resembles his famously enigmatic public self at a gallery opening with John Lennon and Yoko Ono.", Tucked away among the letters, diaries, and other ephemera in the Smithsonian's archives lies a trove of rarely seen snapshots of some of the twentieth century's most celebrated artists.
