GEN: Art History Novels

[Deb Tuck <dtuck@NCDS.NEWTON.MA.US>]

Good Morning,
   The Art History teacher is requesting the following ( I have spoken
quite highly of this group and would like to impress him with our
collective knowledge) I will post a HIT for everyone


I would be interested if you know of any novels that might be used as
summer reading for art history students.  I would like to compile a list of
novels that treat such subjects as the lives of artists (in particular,
painters, sculptors, and architects), the relationship between art and
social and political issues, and the kinds of problems that have affected
artists at different times in history.  Among the works that are on my list
are:
William Golding's The Spire
Kurt Vonnegut's Bluebeard
Robert Hellenga's The Sixteen Pleasures
Jane Urquhart's The Underpainter
John Fowles' The Ebony Tower

I would very much appreciate suggestions of other novels that might be
included in this list. Thanks.


Deb
