Meanwhile, as I was barely breathing on a recent trip to the library, I came across this book. Let's just say I laughed out loud (yep, I accidentally let out an audible guffaw in a public library) when I read the interpretation of "Whistler's Mother".
Here's a new book I'm adding to my favorites: The Cats History of Western Art, by Susan Herbert.
Read this (above), then look at pic (below) -- giggle, giggle.
These are just some of the fun paintings you'll find in this really great book, and the stories that go with them are clever, clever, clever!
