Good books on the meaning and purpose of the arts (writing included), possibly without those certain influences we all know about.

Kenyon cox- What is painting?
Harold speed- the practice and science of drawing
Harold speed- painting (idk title)
books on individual artists that mostly feature their work with some history of where they were at the time, maaaybe social context.

Almost anything that is in-depth about art by someone who wasn't a talented representationalist themselves is drivel, full stop.

This makes them seethe to no end, it's not perfect but good enough for an alternative take if you will.
