Light, Sand, and Sea: Hamptons Artists and Their Studios

It's one thing to admire an artist's work; it's another to get a real feel of the person behind the work. In these pages you'll get a close-up look at 50 painters, sculptors, printmakers, photographers, and mixed-media artists who are living and working on the famed East End of Long Island, New York. Photographer Jaime Lopez has captured each artist both in revealing portraits and at work in their studios, and journalist and curator Coco Myers has contributed insightful interviews. The East End has long been a magnet for artists who are drawn to the inspiring nature of the landscape--the light, the fields, the farms, and of course, the expansive sea. And while the legacy of artists like Jackson Pollock, Lee Krasner, Willem de Kooning, and others remains strong, the area continues to be rich in talent today. Lopez's photographs and Myers's text reveal the creativity, intelligence, and humor of these 50 artists as well as the vibe of their workplaces and the tools of their craft.
