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).
Picture

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. 
Picture

Art books often have a "chronology" in the back. This is a timeline of the artist's life.
