A dictionary of art titles : the origins of the names and titles of 3,000 works of art
Adrian Room (Author)
"The titles of many art works are descriptive, naming the persons or scenes depicted. But close your eyes and picture L.H.O.O.Q., Tomorrow Is Never, or The Unthinkable. Suddenly the world of art is a more mysterious place, full of titles that evoke only questions (No Walk Today - why not? The Discovery - of what?)." "Some of those questions can be answered by looking at the works themselves. Other answers require some background in history or religion, or a knowledge of the artist's life."
