BOOK RECOMMENDATIONS
As a graphic nonfiction author, artist, and art educator, I read a lot, and I wanted to share a few nonfiction, art history related books that have inspired me lately.
The Lost Painting by Jonathan Harr
A gripping true story about the search for a lost Caravaggio masterpiece.
The Judgment of Paris by Ross King
This dual biography contrasts academic painter Ernest Meissonier with the radical Édouard Manet during the 1860s, a decade that gave rise to Impressionism.
The Vanishing Velázquez by Laura Cumming
The fascinating tale of John Snare, a 19th-century bookseller who staked everything on a mysterious portrait he believed to be a lost Velázquez.
