Top 3 Books for an Art Consultant
Hello everyone! Today I want to share with you my personal list of the top 3 books that every art consultant should read.
1. «The Story of Art» by Ernst Gombrich.
This classic book is a must-read for anyone interested in art history. It covers the entire history of Western art, from prehistoric times to the present day. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it a great introduction to the subject.
2. «Art and Illusion» by E.H. Gombrich.
This book is a follow-up to «The Story of Art». It explores the ways in which artists create illusions of depth, space, and movement in their works. The book is full of fascinating insights into the psychology of perception and the history of art.
3. «How to Read a Painting» by Martin Gayford.
This book is an excellent guide to understanding the visual language of painting. It covers everything from the basics of composition and perspective to more advanced concepts such as symbolism and iconography. The book is illustrated with beautiful reproductions of paintings from around the world.
These books are essential reading for anyone who wants to become a well-rounded art consultant. They provide a solid foundation in art history, theory, and criticism.
