Direct examples are quick, but don't forget the second type: a critical book can provide new names of artists and titles of art works that you can then look up.

 Photographs: combine the key word(s) for your topic with the word photograph*
The * will allow the search to include results with photography, or photographs.

Useful subject phrases: in OneSearch and WorldCat, use the subject phrases "xx in art". Examples:

• landscapes in art
• monsters in art
• nude in art

Does this book have images? If you aren't sure, click on the title in OneSearch and then scroll down to the line labeled "Format." Look for the word "illustrated," or its abbreviation "ill."
