Discovering Resources on Artists
Uncover a wealth of information to support your exploration of artists. Start with print books from our catalog—aim to find at least one book focused on your chosen artist. Explore artist-specific databases like WikiArt and Artcyclopedia; if your artist is not listed, it may signal limited available resources. For reliable background information, Britannica and CREDO offer detailed overviews. Dive deeper with scholarly articles using databases such as EBSCO, ProQuest, Gale, or Google Scholar. Finally, expand your search using Google’s advanced search features or consult ChatGPT for artist-specific insights.
