Do you know of any good art-themed fiction books?


I am in a book club and I get to choose the books for the group to vote on to read soon. I would like to go to this art gallery hopping event my city has and read an art themed book to go along with it. Do you know of any good fiction books that have an art theme? Even something like "The Girl with the Pearl Earring" or something along that line. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! :)

A really wonderful book that I read that is art-themed is "A Portrait of Myself" by Winifred Madison. The book is about a young woman who loves to draw and paint, but thanks to little support from family and others has doubts about her talent. I highly recommend it. Another book with a similar theme is "Cages of Glass, Flowers of Time" by Charlotte Culin.

Good luck and happy reading! :-)
The Matisse Story, by A. S. Byet
The Rembrandt Panel by Nicholas Kilmer
Chasing Cezanne by Peter Mayle

Enjoy!!
YES!!! Please do "The Picture of Dorian Gray." Art is part of the theme, but the story is deep and makes one think. You might look at a synopsis, if you're not familiar with the book, and see if it looks good.

:-)
The Agony and the Ecstasy by Irving Stone. It's about Michaelangelo
The Virgin Blue also by Tracy Chevalier would be an option or the story of the tapestry Lady and the Unicorn. Girl in Hyacinth Blue by Susan Vreeland, this author has several novels out including one about The Boating Party. Hope this helps
Right off the top of my head, CHASING VERMEER by Blue Balliett ... another one is THE FLANDERS PANEL by Arturo Perez-Reverte. Both of these are mysteries centered around a given painting, and both are worth reading.
Kurt Vonneguts Bluebeard best art fiction novel out there read it.
