ART: Art & Artists Research for Studio Art Courses (2025)

A guide for students in studio art courses, created by arts Librarian Maryke Barber

Tips

Foreign surnames may be spelled more than one way (Titian = Tiziano).  Use Grove/Oxford Art Online to find variant forms/spellings.

Individual works of art may be referred to by their title in the original language, or in English.

To combine them in a search, set each phrase in quotation marks and add a capitalized OR in between:

"sleep of reason" OR "sueno de la razon"

If Hollins Doesn't Have It

You can request books, films, and articles the library doesn't own via Interlibrary Loan (ILL).
