Bookshelf

I think you can guess a lot about a person by looking at their books. The artist Jane Mount has approached book titles as a form of portraiture. Pictured is her print "Ideal Bookshelf 1" that illustrates her favorite children's books. My shelf would certainly include: A Snowy Day, The Tall Book of Make Believe, Where the Wild Things Are, When You Were Small, A Tree is Nice, Sylvester and the Magic Pebble, The Umbrella and Fish is Fish.

Jane's bio made me smile:

She is obsessed with learning and knows a lot about drawing, the internet, social networks, anthropology, art history, wine, human anatomy, furniture, cooking and golf. When she was little she believed that people kept learning and changing until they knew absolutely everything, and then they would die and move on to something else because they were done here. She is currently still on that mission.
