Here's the second list of some of my favorite art books, this time of the fictional biography/historical novel variety. Once again, in no particular order are some books I really enjoyed reading and that I think you will as well, especially if you like a little drama with your art.
Lust For Life: A Biographical Novel of Vincent van Gogh by Irving Stone
Luncheon of the Boating Party by Susan Vreeland (Pierre Auguste Renoir)
The Passion of Artemesia by Susan Vreeland (Artemesia Gentileschi)
The Painted Kiss by Elizabeth Hickey (Gustav Klimt)
Girl with a Pearl Earring by Tracy Chevalier (Johannes Vermeer)
The Agony and the Ecstasy: A Biographical Novel of Michelangelo by Irving Stone
Johanna: A Novel of the van Gogh Family by Claire Cooperstein
Moon and Sixpence by W. Somerset Maugham (loosely based on Paul Gauguin)
