This article focuses on several books on fine arts. "Gian Lorenzo Bernini: The Sculptor of the Roman Baroque," by Rudolf Wittkower is first monograph in English about the sculptor who was probably the most prolific and influential of any in history. In other languages no full-dress treatment of this major luminary has appeared for a generation, though Bernini scholarship in the form of articles has been active. "American Painting From the Armory Show to the Depression," by Milton W. Brown is a thorough historical treatment of painting in the U.S. between 1913 and 1929.
