The Studio was the name of a small artists' loft commune formed in 1975 by four comic book artists/commercial illustrators/painters in Manhattan's Chelsea district. These artists were Barry Windsor-Smith, Jeff Jones, Michael William Kaluta, and Bernie Wrightson — known colloquially as the "Fab Four".〔Daudt, Ron E. ("Joe Barney Interview (Pt. 2)," ) ''The Silver Age Sage: A Tribute to the Silver Age of DC Comics''. Accessed May 18, 2013.〕 The studio space was a converted machine shop with high ceilings.〔 Industry journalist Tom Spurgeon commented on the broader significance and influence of The Studio in his 2011 obituary of Jones at ''The Comics Reporter'': :The legacy of that much talent doing what was collectively very good work at a point of almost monolithic and degrading corporate influence over the kind of art they wanted to do has provided The Studio with a legacy that can be embraced even by those that didn't particularly care for the artists' output. The idea of a dedicated workplace that would allow for coercive influence one artist to another has been carried over into very nearly ever cartoonists' collective space initiative since.〔Spurgeon, Tom. ("Jeffrey Catherine Jones, 1944-2011" ), ''The Comics Reporter'', 19 May 2011.〕 By 1979, the "Fab Four" had produced enough material to issue an art book under the name ''The Studio'', which was published by Dragon's Dream.〔Jones, Jeffrey; Kaluta, Michael; Windsor-Smith, Barry; and Wrightson, Berni. ''The Studio'' (Dragons Dream; First edition Apr. 1, 1979), ISBN 978-9063325817.〕 That same year the members of The Studio moved on to independent projects and work spaces. == See also == * Fab Four 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Studio (commune)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
