George and Suzy
The studio was built in 1930 and the house, which was designed by modernist architect John Butler Swann, was completed in 1941. In the same year that they opened their studio, George (1905-1975) and Suzy (1911-1988) were married. Both artists are best-known for their work as painters. In addition, George, who had a strong inclination towards Cubism, was also writer and sculptor. Suzy was also an opera singer until 1951, when a bout of bronchitis ended her singing career.
