Artists, both historical and contemporary, have been captivated by
books. From Rembrandt's mother studying the Bible, to Edvard Munch
asleep next to a brothel madam reading a book after a bacchanal, to
Picasso, who was never seen holding a book, this charming little
volume offers up a fascinating spectrum of paintings from all
epochs and genres. They all have one thing in common: whether
conspicuously in the middle, or hidden on the edge, each of these
paintings features one or more books. A book in a painting is not
only a bridge between literature and the visual arts, it also
elucidates content, references, and relationships in the paintings,
shedding light on their background and providing insight into the
painter's attitude. In this way, books and paintings have carried
on an entertaining dialogue between text and image throughout the
history of culture.
