Artist Michael Klein has recently returned to New York City from Argentina, where he has spent the last several months working diligently on a series of new paintings. The studio Klein keeps in Argentina is in Buenos Aires, near to his wife's family home, and was built by his father-in-law to Klein's specifications. With its rustic design and translucent roofing, the building echoes the studios preferred by the Naturalist painters of the late 19th century, who wanted to capture the lighting of an overcast day without the certain inconveniences of working out-of-doors. In this timelapse video Klein filmed in South America, viewers have a chance to absorb some of this modern-master's techniques, as well as have the opportunity to see the benefits of working under the conditions Klein has incorporated into his workspace.
