Art book classics


So I'd like to detail some art books (mostly about drawing) that are very near and dear to my heart. Some are rather difficult reads. So I make my appologies right here. However...IF you can wade through the language and set all this knowledge right in your brain, it WILL blow your mind. These are the goods right here fo shizzle. And so in no particular order....

A Treatise on Landscape painting by Andre Lhote

Painter's Progress by Maurice Grosser

The Art Spirit by Robert Henri

Figure Drawing for All it's worth by Andrew Loomis

The practice and science of drawing by Harold Speed

Oil Painting Techniques and materials by Harold Speed

Perspective for Artist by Rex Vicat Cole

The Artistic Anatomy of Trees by Rex Vicat Cole

Painting Techniques of the Masters by Hewerd Lester Cooke

Elements of Drawing by John Ruskin


more to come as I think of them...
