Have you heard of the (albeit somewhat expensive) book on El LIssitzky, called Wolkenbugel: El Lissitzky as Architect by Richard Anderson? It got a very good review in the Times Literary Supplement. You might enjoy, if you feel like it's worth shelling out for, that is.
I have read some philsophy, principally Nietzsche, I think The Twilight of Idols and Ecce Homo were my favourites, plus Zen and the art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert .M. Pirsig is a great read, but enough on non-art related books here, or we'll have to move to yet another thread!
Cecily Brown is a British artist, whose work I'm fond of. She has a catalogue available called The Triumph of Death ,created during the pandemic, which hearkens back to the Breughel painting of the same name.
