solitude sunday whimsey project. our day to spend time with a book; especially those that have been resting, patiently, on the bookshelf awaiting to be read.
the book i began today is american visions: the epic history of art in america by robert hughes. unlike a few books i've been reading in a week's time, this one is hefty and will be my companion for awhile. thus far i have read the introduction and part of the first chapter. of course, with most early art for a society, it begins with religious art. so does this one. books such as these are enjoyable as you learn about the main topic, art, but it's contextual. thus, one learns about so much more about the factors that created that time in history.
what are you reading this solitude sunday? share your book with the whimsey project.
