Reading Art: Art for Book Lovers
Reading Art: Art for Book Lovers | David Trigg
5 posts | 3 read | 11 to read
A celebration of artworks featuring books and readers from throughout history, for the delight of art lovers and bibliophiles As every book tells a story, every book in art is part of an intriguing, engaging, and relatable image. Books are depicted as indicators of intellect in portraits, as symbols of piety in religious paintings, as subjects in still lifes, and as the raw material for contemporary installations. Reading Art spotlights artworks from museums and collections around the globe, creating a gorgeous, inspiring homage to both the written word and to its pivotal role in the visual world.

Jane Mount's "Bibliophile," DK Editions "Writers: Their Lives and Works," "Author: The Portraits of Beowulf Sheehan." 2018 has been an embarrassment of riches for lavishly illustrated & well executed books about writers & books. Add to the list, Reading Art. At over 300 pages & spanning hundreds of years, this hardcover is a real treat for any book lover. Periodically interspersed are memorable quotes, such as the following by Thoreau, ?

vivastory "How many a man has dated a new era in his life by the reading of a book!" Each art work receives a page, allowing for attention to detail. This will be a real holiday treat for any bibliophile in your life, including yourself! 6y

TRUTH. New book at the library, flipping through it on my lunch break.

Books and art, my two favorite things. Not if only it were books and art and queer people... nah, I‘d probably die.
