Book Obsession

I had lots of great thrift finds last week, but am most excited by the amazing books I found!

I have somewhat of an obsession with Art Books.  

Here's one of the many nooks I store my books!

I love to have them as reference material for my own art & enjoy seeing the process, progression, & portfolio of the artist who are influential enough have books written about them.

At a Yard Sale on Saturday, I came across a woman with a similar obsession & was able to walk away with a whole heap of amazing books...HEAVEN!!!

The Private World of Pablo Picasso could possibly be my favorite take from the haul.  It's filled to the brim with amazing photos of Picasso at home & in his studio.  A unique glimpse of this master at work.

Travel Posters by Bevis Hiller

I also really love this oversize book filled with Art Deco travel posters.  It's hard to come across books of this size that haven't been torn apart.  It's so tempting to mat and frame many of the beautiful images on their own.

Paul Klee Books

Indian Basketry and Pueblo Pottery

I snagged 3 cool books on Paul Klee (she must of really liked him!), in addition to 2 neat books on Indian Basketry and Pueblo Pottery that will soon be listed in my Etsy Shop.

The most random in the loot would have to be this 1930s catalog of Electrotype Stock Cuts.  It's filled to the brim with thousands of clip-art type images and from a Los Angeles company...so fun.
