Description

A collection of artworks that represent and pay homage to reading and readers. Just as a book tells a story, each book that appears in a work of art forms part of an intriguing, interesting, and unique image. Books often symbolize intellect in portraits, piety in religious paintings, mere objects in still lifes, and even pure material in contemporary installations. In this volume, you will find 280 works, ranging from classical sculptures and frescoes to contemporary pieces, by artists such as Rembrandt, Fragonard, Perugini, Manet, Hopper, Van Gogh, Whistler, and Currin, among others.
