Currently reading … both are older books available at very reasonable prices. The Courbet is a 1980s Brooklyn Museum retrospective catalogue with excellent essays and TONS of color plates. Berger is one of the few writers on art I really like (Danto and Tompkins are the other top three); I found a fascinating long quote from it online about Courbet and Cezanne so had to check it out; it’s a prescient look at investment capital and art.
