I’d also recommend "The Invisible Art: The Legends Of Movie Matte Painting. It’s an incredible book on the whole history of glass paintings, hanging miniatures and all the rest of it. It’s amazing to realize that most of those iconic images from classic films were, in reality, painting.
Here’s the link to the Invisible Art book: https://www.amazon.ca/Invisible-Art-Legends-Movie-Painting/dp/0811831361
