1. Vincent's letters to his bother are most definitely worth it. Lots of insight and some of the entries are heart-crushing.
2. Da Vinci's notes are also invaluable. Lots of observations about light, volume and technique
3. Liessman's Philosophy of modern art it's a good counter to Gombrich's History of art. Gombrich sees art as a history of forms while Liessman is more of the idea of art as an history of non utilitarian ideas.
4. Your edition of Gombrich's history of art should have a long bibliography on the back, neatly divided in categories according to ages and locations. It's really well researched so take advantage of it.
