Do you love visiting museums and seeing the work of famous artists? If you love their work, why not check out where they grew up? Sometimes their homes are covered in art for inspiration and other times their homes are works of art in their own right. While these artists aren’t around anymore, you can still appreciate their work and get a sense of who they were. Here are four of the most beautiful artists’ homes in the U.S. that you can take a tour of.

Clementine Hunter, Louisiana

Clementine Hunter worked and lived on the Melrose Plantation in Louisiana and she rolled wallpaper across the ceilings and down the walls. She stayed up late at night and painted botanicals and landscapes. While her work was often dismissed as folk art curiosity, she valued her work and sold it to collectors and charged an admission fee to those who wanted to see it.

Georgia O’Keefe, New Mexico

Georgia O’Keefe’s home in New Mexico lays among the most gorgeous landscape, which inspired her work. Among the things you’ll find inside her house are a collection of skulls, rock, bones, sketches, and a plain white sofa with throw pillows printed with flowers and hearts that’s in her kitchen.

Lee Krasner and Jackson Pollock, New York

Lee Krasner and Jackson Pollock restored and redecorated their run-down Long Island, New York home with scavenged pieces and improvised materials. They painted in the house and even after Pollock passed away in a car crash, Krasner continued living there. After his passing, her home was inspired by both her grief and the art she made.
