How to Use an art book
Art books have lots of useful information, but sometimes they are difficult to find their way around.
|
Books are often titled the name of the artist they are about, but the books are hardly ever written by that artist.
|
Some art books give information about images on the same page as the image (as a caption).
|
Sometimes the caption is on the page before or after the work of art.
Sometimes, there is a catalog of art works at the back of the book, or the end of each section.
|
Art books often have a "chronology" in the back. This is a timeline of the artist's life.
