Still Life Extraordinaire
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
I love this book; anyone who paints still life or likes still life should have this book in his/her library.

Most of the greats have painted still life at one time or another (or included it as background); this book shows why, despite contemporary art's distaste for still life, it endures.
