Print: The Dictionary of Art, Art Library, Reference (Writing Resources) N 31 .D5 1996 (OBIS)
A comprehensive art encyclopedia, this ambitious work covers all media, countries, and periods. Survey articles cover the cultures, civilizations, and countries of the world, from pre-history to the late 20thc. Articles on non-Western cultures cover the full range of art forms produced, from architecture to the fine and decorative arts. Artistic styles, movements and theories are included, as are forms, themes, and subject matter.
In 1999 the Dictionary of Art was digitized; the new edition -- Grove Art Online -- is regularly revised, updated and expanded. In 2008 Oxford merged Grove Art Online with three Oxford art encyclopedias -- The Oxford Companion to Western Art, The Encyclopedia of Aesthetics and The Concise Oxford Dictionary of Art Terms – creating a new product Oxford Art Online.
