Monet and the Impressionists exhibition finishes this week. If you want to experience these beautiful paintings in the comfort of your living-room, check out Monet and the Impressionists, the book. If you are interested by modern art, you can learn more about Norwegian contemporary art, and the work of Mark Rothko, who was a leading artist amongst the abstract expressionists. Portraiture is an ancient art and you can witness its evolution by referring to three books in our monthly selection featuring Constable, Elizabeth Peyton and Wyndham Lewis. Finally, if you find sculptures of ancient Iraq fascinating, check out this month’s Art Recent Picks.
