Art Reads

As an avid reader and lover of all things books and libraries, here is a list of art books, inspirational reads, and content I find generally interesting. Books are listed in no particular order.

I strongly urge buying local or second hand whenever possible, so please avoid the big chain stores and seek out your local library, book shop, or thrift store if these titles catch your eye!
