Description:
This beautiful gift edition of 'Women who read are dangerous' focuses on the most beautiful paintings and photos of reading women. Why do the women read and what reading material are they engrossed in? In passing, we learn something about the artist of the work, the context and the era in which the work was created.

From Michelangelo's giant reading Sybil and Vermeer's girl reading a letter to Eve Arnold's famous photo of Marilyn Monroe absorbed in Ulysses. The paintings and photographs in this book are by old masters and universal artists, by early photographers and draftsmen of the clear line, by painters yet to be discovered and court painters yet to be rediscovered.

With an introduction by Kristien Hemmerechts, who reveals an intriguing triangular relationship between man, woman and book.
