Painters and Painting: Journal Articles

Databases for Journal Articles on Contemporary Art and Artists

Many contemporary artists do not yet have books or exhibition catalogs published about them; therefore, the best information can usually be found in journals.

*Search the databases below for journal articles on contemporary art, artists and their work. *If accessing off campus, you will be asked for a username (EUID), and password (EUID password).

*Type your artist's name in the keyword search box. Example: Viola, Bill; Sherman, Cindy; Whiteread, Rachel; Smith, Kiki.
*Other keyword search examples: Postmodern and Art, Postmodern and Art and Criticism, Art and "20th Century", "Conceptual Art", "Feminist Theory" and Art, "Computer Art", Reconstruction and Art and Theory.

 

*If you did not find the full-text of your journal article at the top level of your search, be sure to click the link "find full-text", to find more full-text options. Articles in journals not owned by the UNT Libraries can be requested through our borrowing program Inter-Library Loan.
