Reviews
"As every book tells a story, every book in art is part of an intriguing, engaging, and relatable image. In Reading Art: Art for Book Lovers, David Trigg looks into how books in art are used as symbols and subjects in their own right. He considers pieces from museums all over the world in a "homage to both the written word and to its pivotal role in the visual world". One for both art geeks and bookworms."--CreativeBloq.com "Gathers together in one place the paintings and artworks through history that capture books as a thing of beauty. Reading Art: Art for Book Lovers, written by David Trigg, will have you putting down your latest page turner to gawp at the stunning ways different artists have captured the act of getting lost in a good book... The book also features an essay, exploring the inspirations for the project - including the idea of books as political and dangerous objects, often censored by oppressive regimes."--Evening Standard online "This book is perfect."--Rachel Cooke "An enchanting compendium of artworks that celebrate books and reading through 2,000 years of art history...
