Art History Reads

 

It is always a joy to read books that are about different periods in Art History. Today, I am showing only the books that are about more "modern" art. Impressionist art is always really interesting and beautiful to read about and look at. I only have one book about Art Deco so far, but as I love it so much, I am sure there will be additions later on. Here is a list of the books in the pictures.

Fashion in Impressionist Paris by Debra N. Mancoff

The Magic of Monet's Garden by Derek Fell

Impressionism: Painting Quickly in France 1860-1890 by Richard R. Brettell

Art Deco: The Golden Age of Graphic Art & Illustration by Michael Robinson

Neo-Impressionisten by Ellen Wardwell Lee

What is on your to-read stack? And what is your favorite period in Art History? I couldn't pick, but maybe you have something that stands out!

Artist Spotlight: Samantha J. Hahn

I absolutely love the book Well-Read Women with illustrations by Samantha J. Hahn. It has the most beautiful watercolor paintings representing heroines from literary masterpieces. It is so fun to look through. 

Additionally, I really love the planner that Hahn illustrated. It is absolutely darling, and I love the typewriter painting on the front cover! 

I would highly recommend you visit Hahn's website and her instagram to view more of her work - or even order her books! I cannot recommend highly enough!
