Too cold outside? Curl up inside with a good art book!
Annie Dugan has a few recommendations including Fur Trade Nation by Carl Gawboy. The book includes art by Gawboy, his own family history, and information about the fur trade from the Ojibwe perspective.
There's also poetry to be appreciated and discovered. In the book At the Louvre, one hundred poets from around the world use the written word to bring visual works at the famous Paris museum to life.
A final recommendation is Chasing Beauty: The Life of Isabella Stewart Gardner by Natalie Dykstra. The Isabella Gardner Museum was made universally notable in the 1990s after an as-yet unsolved art heist. The book focuses on the museum's namesake and how she led the charge in the world of art.
