Olè Oil 12" x 16" R. Garriott
"A Novel Idea - Artwork Inspired By Books" is an exhibit in which artists have used authors and poets as their muse. The exhibition, on view at Koelbel Library during September 2011, showcases the source of the inspiration and the artists final product."
My chosen book (not a novel) is about color:
Bright Earth: Art and the Invention of Color by Philip Ball
it's a bit of a heavy read but full of fascinating facts.
If you're interested in the history, mythology and science of color but
appreciate an easier read with lots of anecdotes, I'd also recommend
Color: A Natural History of the Palette by Victoria Finlay.
THE ART GROUP exhibiting at
Koelbel Library 5955 South Holly Street
Centennial, CO 80121
September 2011
