Most art history books are not dedicated to a single work. When researching art remember to look for additional information about:
- artist
- location such as city or country
- style i.e. Mannerist or Deco
- period i.e Renaissance or Roman
- movement i.e. Dada, Bauhaus, or Secession
- material or technique
Searching tips:
If you know the name of the artist, use keyword or subject searching in the library catalog for books under these names. Once you have a book in hand, refer to its index or table of contents to determine whether or not your artwork is mentioned.
If the artist is unknown, try searching under time period, style, location, or movement.
