A bright yellow book cover with one of sculptor Alexander Calder's black wire pieces shaped as a trapeze artist hanging upside down. In his hands he holds the title of the book, spelled out in letters made of red wire. The title of the book is Calder's Circus.
A book titled 'Sargent and Italy'. A detail from a John Singer Sargent painting shows a paved stone courtyard with a water well and several figures. A mysterious female figure dressed in white, but draped in large black shawl, appears to walk towards us. Her face is hidden.
A book entitled 'Milton Avery' by Robert Hobbs. The cover is one of the artist's lyrical abstract seascapes, in shades of blue and black. A lighter blue color in the foreground suggests a shoreline.
A book entitled 'Paintbrushes and Pistols: How the Taos Artists Sold the West', by Sherry Clayton Taggett and Ted Schwarz. The cover is an oil painting in warm colors of a Native American man wearing a red shirt and tall light brown hat. His left eye is only partially visible under the floppy hat's brim. A wall behind him is yellow-gold. Bright sunlight appears to be illuminating one side of his face. The other is in shadow. The shaded side shows his other eye clearly, looking straight at the viewer.
