Expert: J Heuman - 11/10/2004


Question
Hi
Could you recommend art history books (19th and 20th century)? (Books on the key developments and reforms in art and design in the 19th and 20th century, The contribution and influences made by art forms of other cultures towards creative developments) Also books generally on artists? (famous artists and books which have summarised facts about them and their styles and characteristics. Books on the different art movements.)
Any web links relating to the above?
If I needed more help, are these subjects something you know about?
Thanks

Answer
Greetings Sam,

I have already asked you to ask SPECIFIC questions.

So, try: www.artcyclopedia.com

Then, if you have a SPECIFIC question about an artist or style during the 19th and/or 20th centuries, please ask.

Best wishes, sincerely,
J Heuman
