The Art Spirit5
This book is recommended reading by my art teacher...I have only just started reading it, but it appears to be really interesting so far.

The Classic5
The Art Spirit is a classic. No artist should ever be without a copy. This book invites reading time and time again. It brings us back to the principles. The value of things. Right thinking. Relationships. As a practicing artist, I can think of few books that have meant so much.

No reviews?!5
I first read about this book while reading "Lynch on Lynch" about the artist David Lynch.He mentioned that "The Art Spirit" opened his eyes to what art could be,and I figured "hey,if he got something out of it I'll bet that I could too!" Then a few weeks ago my Art Appreciation class instructor mentioned that it was top-notch reading(he's involved with the biggest art museum in Minneapolis)--then I knew I had to pick this book up.It's amazing reading and contains great ideas you won't soon forget!
