CCCD Art Books

We scored some great art books this time around with our library's CCCD funds. The gorgeous Abrams book on Rauschenberg is very readable and has some real applications to Global Studies with several entries about the artist's ROCI program and his visits to China.

We also added to our collection of Andy Goldsworthy titles with Wood. I think his work provides a very accessible entry into "modern" art. It also speaks to craftsmanship, environmental awareness, the hidden opportunities of our own rural setting.

Add to these Lucien Freud, de Koonnig, Rossetti and others; and we bring a rich awareness of the breadth of visual arts to Afton.
