Some Books I Think of When I Look at Art 

Veronica Montes, UMFA Art Ambassador

One of my favorite pastimes is wandering in art museums. I delight in seeing various thoughts, ideas, and feelings shown through art in one place. Looking at artworks often leads me to thinking about many things, like books. Reading is another one of my favorite pastimes. Here are some books that come to mind when I look at art in the Utah Museum of Fine Arts’ European art galleries.
