Here’s some terrific books that you might like to follow up on:
(There will be more to come. This post got wiped in processing somewhere, so I
have to rebuild it while I’m on tour. Any suggestions you have for sites or further reading,
send to me at TheAuthorGuy@gmail.com)
ON COLOR
Color: A Natural History of the Pallette by Victoria Findlay
Bright Earth and the Invention of Color, by Philip Ball
ON PARIS:
Parisians: An Adventure History of Paris, by Graham Robb
On the Artists:
Some of these books I picked because they are the “prettiest” books, not the most academically definitive. Looking at pictures seems relevant.
- Toulouse-Lautrec
- Vincent Van Gogh: A Self-Portrait in Art and Letters
- Renoir: My Father, by Jean Renoir
- The Private Lives of the Impressionists by Sue Roe
More to come. Vincent’s complete letters are on line, and there are “official” Van Gogh, and Toulouse-Lautrec sites, as well as official museum sites. I’m literally running out the door to start book tour, so I’ll get back here to fix stuff up. Onward!
