Most recently I got “Big Magic” from our local library. Elizabeth Gilbert never disappoints. A good read for us creative folks who need motivation at times.

She paints vivid word pictures. Also I have listened to The Artist’s Way several times on cassette tape – well that dates me! It was very inspirational. I have a couple of her other books, too. She is so encouraging!.

My book club read that book, too, and loved it even though I’m the only one in the group who is an artist. It was a great read.

This book is long, over 700 pages but it gives such insight into five female abstract expressionist artists, world history, and women’s rights that it is worth the time. I’ve learned so much and can now begin to look at abstract art with fresh eyes and a micron of understanding. It’s a book I want on my bookshelf. I’ve taken it out of my public library. It is also great background for the current third floor women’s exhibits at the MFA and a Hans Hoffman exhibit at the Peabody Essex Museum.

Would you also like to share your favorite booklist of the artbooks you already have? So not a wishlist but a already-have-list
