We've been reading how much people miss going to museums to see art. We miss it too. Perhaps, this book will help during the time of COVID-19 because it's like having your favorite artist take you on a one-on-one, special, museum tour to their favorite works of art.
This book is called, "It Speaks to Me: Art That Inspires Artists". In it, 50 contemporary artists discuss artworks that inspire them from museums around the world. It includes: David Hockney on Edgar Degas, Shirin Neshat on Alice Neel, Marina Abramovic on Umberto Boccioni, Ai Weiwei on a Shang Dynasty jade, Nick Cave on Jasper Johns, Judy Chicago on Agnes Pelton, Luc Tuymans on van Eyck, and Gillian Wearing on Rembrandt to name a few. After perusing it and filling your head and heart with so many creative ideas and possibilities, let us know if you need any art supplies. You can place a no-contact, curbside order at this link.
