MUST-HAVE Books for EVERY ARTIST!

PLEASE READ these Before You Even Think about ART SCHOOL

What does the snapshot of your library say about you as a creative?

Do you desire to learn? Are you a huge fan of Opera, Anime or Travel? Is your book collection weighted primarily toward Stephen King novels?

If you’re lucky enough to have the space for books and you like to read, then I believe books and their content can be a fundamental part of any creative’s DNA.

And even within the multitude of novels, graphic novels, art books and travel books there are, for me at least, a core set of books that I revisit time and again. These are as valuable as REFERENCE BOOKS that you’d find at any library. They are a constant source of learning and not easily digestible in one sitting...nor multiple sittings. They’re the types of books that reveal themselves over time as you mature and learn about yourself and the world at large. Their contents are timeless and will serve you for years to come.

Does that sound familiar to you?

The following are a list of the core books that have never let me down. Even though I’ve read many books on the same subject, these are some of the ones I personally have learned the most from and I’ll explain why.
