Note:
1. Resource Library is a publication of Traditional
Fine Arts Organization. An easy way to identify specific texts is to
use Resource Library's search
feature, as articles and essays are fully indexed. Since American art museums
often focus on local art history, an index to assist in identification of
articles and essays with a regional focus is useful. See Resource Library's
Sources of Articles and Essays Indexed
by State within the United States for a handy guide. Since 2001, when
an article is published on an artist, Resource Library lists at the
end of the article links to its previously published articles on the artist.
Distinguished Artists, in turn, updates its link for the artist to that
most recently published Resource Library article.
