Art in the Social Sciences Room

Sometimes books for those who appreciate the creative arts can be found in other departments of the library. Check-out these three recent arrivals, recommended by Fine Arts Librarian Mary Frechette:

Where Does Art Come From How to Find Inspiration and Ideas by William Kluba is an exploration rather than a how-to guide , a combination of art-history, psychology, and spirituality.

The Artist's Library A Field Guide by Laura Damon-Moore & Erinn Batykefer suggests ways to use your library to increase artistic productivity and inspire new work. 

 NOTE: Watch this space for news of a special program on Central Library's resources for moving your professional artistic career to the next level, Central for Creatives, coming in November 2014. 

All the Art That's Fit to Print (and Some That Wasn't) Inside the New York Times Op-Ed Page by Jerelle Kraus, full of examples and explanations, especially since the 1970's.
