The Gladdened Heart: the art of music

It's a totally non-stuffy book of short essays about how artists portrayed music. From the Ghent Altarpiece to Picasso's old guitarist. My book producer will send it to you if you pm me with your address. I got a little carried away with Degas" series on the Paris Ballet (with its young ballerinas exploitation by rich old guys who supported the Ballet that Degas included in his paintings and good for him!). But I think you'll like it. I've sent it to a few DUers and you can join that little club!
