The GoodReads list seem to suggest you're okay with both fictionalized biographies of real artists and pure-fiction tales with artists and art as subjects.

So, I think we're a long way off from anything reaching comprehensivity. :) On Fri, Sep 12, 2014 at 1:30 AM, Henri, Janine <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > Ooh, if you're interested in mysteries that really widens the field! > There's quite a dedicated group of mystery readers among ARLIS/NA members > and we used to get together on an annual basis to share our favorites. > > One of my long standing favorite series is the Judge Dee mysteries by > Robert van Gulik.
