The Artist and Journal of Home Culture, commonly referred to as The Artist, was a monthly publication focusing on art and design, issued in London by Archibald Constable & Co. between 1880 and 1902. From 1881 until 1894, it carried the complete title The Artist and Journal of Home Culture. Starting in 1896, the magazine was renamed The Artist: An Illustrated Monthly Record of Arts, Crafts and Industries. A separate American version was published in New York by Truslove, Hanson & Comba.
During the tenure of editor Charles Kains Jackson (1888–1894), the journal incorporated discreet homoerotic themes, which contributed to shaping the homosexual subculture while still appealing to a broader audience. Academic Thomas Waugh characterized it as a "closet pedophile" publication, notable for featuring Uranian poetry alongside photographic works by Wilhelm von Gloeden.
