Recommended Posts

Which art history books couldn't you live without? Could be general, methodology or theme specific...you know the books besides Gardner (haha ohhh those were the good days)

I'm thinking...

Panofsky's Studies in Iconology

Barnet's A Short Guide to Writing About Art

Broude and Garrard's Reclaiming Female Agency

Thornton's Seven Days in the Art World

What do ya'll think?

I'm interested in war photography (and photography history in general), so Classic Essays on Photography, edited by Alan Trachtenberg, was a must-have. As was The Photography Reader, edited by Liz Wells. Great essay compilations in each.
