This list could be many times longer, but here are the ones on my bookshelf, including a few of the best compilations of my favorite artists.<\/p>\n

(You can hover over some book covers for additional info.)<\/div>\n

<\/h3>\n

These showcase one artist per book.<\/p>\n

<\/a>\"\"Leonardo Da Vinci: 1452-1519: The Complete Paintings and Drawings<\/strong>
\nFrank Zollne, Johannes Nathan<\/em>
\nUnbelievable. The high resolution is like nothing anyone ever saw before. Jaw-dropping reproductions, but be careful \u2013 it may weigh more than you.<\/div>\n
<\/a>\"\"Michelangelo: The Complete Sculpture, Painting, Architecture<\/strong>
\nWilliam E. Wallace<\/em>
\nBig, heavy book. But what a collection.<\/div>\n
<\/a>\"\"Van Gogh: Complete Works<\/strong>
\nRainer Metzger, Ingo F. Walther<\/em>
\nThe Great Collection. Glad I bought it before the price skyrocketed.<\/div>\n
<\/a>\"\"Arthur Rackham<\/strong>
\nFred Gettings<\/em>
\nInferior reproductions, but biographical with worthy observations. I found it inspiring.<\/div>\n
<\/a>\"\"Arthur Rackham<\/strong>
\nJames Hamilton<\/em>
\nGood reproductions<\/div>\n
<\/a>\"\"Alphonse Mucha: The Complete Graphic Works<\/strong>
\nAnn Bridges<\/em>
\nThis has the best reproductions of the older books – superb collection and color printing.<\/div>\n
<\/a>\"\"Impossible Worlds (Escher Collection)<\/strong>
\nMC Escher, Bruno Ernst<\/em>
\nThere are many good Escher books. This one combines four of the best.<\/div>\n
<\/a>\"\"Fantastic Worlds: The Art of William Stout<\/strong>
\nEd Leimbacher<\/em>
\nNear-Definitive work on his career, but don\u2019t miss The Comics Journal issue devoted to William Stout.<\/div>\n
<\/a>\"\"A Sketchy Past: The Art of Peter de Seve<\/strong>
\nPeter de Seve<\/em>
\nWonderful book of the history of his art and career.<\/div>\n
<\/a>\"\"Bernie Wrightson: A Look Back<\/strong>
\nBernie Wrightson<\/em>
\nYes, I paid $350 for my copy, but it was and is the book about Bernie\u2019s career with lots of stuff you can\u2019t find anywhere else.<\/div>\n
<\/a>\"\"The Art of Rick Griffin<\/strong>
\nRick Griffin<\/em>
\nThe first book of Rick. I bought multiple copies of this in the 80\u2019s to look over with friends in admiration of his iconic images.<\/div>\n
<\/a>\"\"Heart & Torch: Rick Griffin\u2019s Transcendence<\/strong>
\nMultiple Authors<\/em>
\nThis book first sold at the Laguna Art Museum in 2007 – a worthy collection of images and thoughts about one of my favorite artists growing up.<\/div>\n
<\/a>\"\"The Extraordinary Works of Alan Moore<\/strong>
\nGeorge Khoury<\/em>
\nLots of attention to the Mystery Man of Talent<\/div>\n
<\/a>\"\"Stars by Kruger<\/strong>
\nSebastian Kruger<\/em>
\nFamous people skewered by the man I think is the best caricaturist in the world.<\/div>\n
<\/a>\"\"Winslow Homer: The Color of Light<\/strong>
\nMulitiple Authors<\/em>
\nGreat reproductions and technical info about Homer’s watercolors<\/div>\n
<\/a>\"\"John Singer Sargent<\/strong>
\nKate Jennings<\/em>
\nExcellent reproductions but a number of them cross pages.<\/div>\n
<\/a>\"\"American Watercolors<\/strong>
\nKate Jennings<\/em>
\nExcellent reproductions.<\/div>\n
<\/a>\"\"NC Wyeth<\/strong>
\nKate Jennings<\/em>
\nExcellent reproductions but some of them cross pages.<\/div>\n
<\/a>\"\"JC Leyendecker<\/strong>
\nCutler & Cutler<\/em>
\nWe waited for decades for a new book with good reproductions. This was it.<\/div>\n
<\/a>\"\"Rembrandt and the Bible<\/strong>
\nHidde Hoekstra<\/em>
\nOne of the best art books in my library, and the best reproductions of his little, scruffy, glorious drawings anywhere in print that I know.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Albrecht Durer<\/h4>\n

Vulgar and glorious. I fell in love with his work at the age of 11.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

Heinrich Kley<\/h4>\n

If you don\u2019t know his work, you\u2019re in for a treat. Go here: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=OjlUdU7CsuE<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Winsor McCay<\/h4>\n

Lots of repeat images here, but so many good McCay books.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Norman Rockwell<\/h4>\n

Many books on Rockwell. These ones I know and like.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Andrew Wyeth<\/h4>\n

The son of N.C. Wyeth. Hard to say whose work I like more, but they are so different.<\/p>\n
