Are they actually playing chess or are they just playing with the chess pieces? :D

You'll notice the cat has a piece of cheese hoping to ensnare the rats. The chess pieces or there to represent the symbolic attempt, it's all a metaphor I guess.

Ah, nice. Just pretending to be playful then . . .
The Art of Brom
Here we're getting into the subjective - Gerald Brom is one of my favourite artists (and a pretty fantastic novelist!). That said, if I recommended art books just for the beautiful images contained therein, my list of recommendations would be miles long.
The reason this book is close to my heart is because of its introduction, where Brom goes explains in detail just how he went from being an army brat to one of the most highly respected dark fantasy artists in the world today. I believe that one's work is flavoured by their life's experiences, and discovering the roots from which other artists hail can help give one perspective on their own beginnings, and perhaps their eventual destination as well.
