EGUVI Art & Architecture Library: Books on Art, Architecture, Design, and Cultural History
This library contrasts the monumental with the intimate: alongside grand surveys of architecture and painting, you'll find artists' memoirs, technical treatises on pottery and wood carving, and studies of Celtic art and the harlequinade. The four categories—Art History, Painting Sculpture, Architecture, and Design Photography—overlap deliberately, so a Ruskin lecture might appear under both painting and architecture. Begin either with the sustained arguments of John Ruskin, the chronological sweep of Fergusson or Hamlin's architectural histories, or the personal accounts of Bewick and Simmons.
