Book Resources
There are a LOT of books about artists and art styles in the WMS library. They are on two carts and available for in-library use only. In addition to the books at the WMS library, you can find more books at the[| Wellesley Free Library]. Books about art and artists will be found in the 700's section and the Biographies section.

Online Resources
Although I recommend starting with books, below is a list of online resources you might want to check out. Y[|ahoo Directory - Artists] this is a link to many websites about different artists, architects, etc. Keep in mind, these websites have not been evaluated for you, they are just gathered in one place and organized for your convenience. [|artnet] is a website where people can buy, sell and research fine art online. It's an online gallery network that is aimed at selling and buying artwork, but also provides good examples of art by a specific artist. They show over 150,000 pieces of art and links to reviews and articles about art. [|ibiblio] "the public's library and digital archive" ibiblio is a collaboration of the School of Information and Library Science and the School of Journalism and Mass Communication at The University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill. This is a link to the Arts and Recreation section which offers links to websites about animators, architects, fine arts, etc. All these websites have been evaluated by the university. [|WebMuseum] The WebMuseum has been designed for academic, educational use and offers reliable information. [|AskART] This is another site aimed at buying and selling art and assessing prices. There are good biographical information and examples of artwork available as well. This is a subscription-based site so the amount of free information available is limited. [|Absolute Arts] - World wide arts resources. This site provides information about art movements and artists and examples of their works. Again, it is a site that is also aimed at buying and selling artwork. [|Famous Artist Gallery] provides galleries of images of the artwork of a variety of well-known artists. Degas, Seurat, Van Gogh, Cezanne and Chagall are among those represented. This site provides artwork, but no information about the authors. [|All Famous Artists]This website offers some biographical info about different well-known authors. Check the [|disclaimer] before you decide to use it.
