M
: The Man Who Became Caravaggio
by Peter Robb
Sometimes known simply as M, Caravaggio threw out Renaissance dogma
to paint with dazzling originality and fierce vitality--qualities that
are echoed in Robb's prose as he suspends time to capture the artist's
wild and tempestuous life. Powells.com

Quoting Caravaggio : Contemporary Art, Preposterous History
by Mieke Bal
Mieke Bal's primary object of investigation in Quoting Caravaggio is
not the great seventeenth-century painter, but rather the issue of temporality
in art. In order to retheorize linear notions of influence in cultural
production, Bal analyzes the productive relationship between Caravaggio
and a number of late-twentieth-century artists who "quote" the baroque
master in their own works. These artists include Andres Serrano, Carrie
Mae Weems, Ken Aptekar, David Reed, and Ana Mendieta, among others. Amazon.com

Caravaggio
by Catherine Puglisi
As Catherine Puglisi points out in the most beautiful Caravaggio book
ever, the soulful, tormented, ethereally talented painter has become a
pop icon, with a "full-blown industry of Caravaggio publications." Puglisi's
book is a standout in this crowded field. With remarkable evenhandedness,
she sifted through the scholarship and discoveries--and the trash--of the
past 20 years and wrote a Caravaggio book that does justice to the painter's
glorious work. She doesn't skimp on the juicy parts of his life, however:
she candidly but coolly recounts and appraises the bits of historical evidence
for his sexuality (both hetero and homo), his use of whores and ruffians
as models, and his many scrapes with the law. Amazon.com
