“Qui scit ubi scientis sit, ille est proximus habenti.” -- Brunetiere* This bibliography is highly selective and is meant only as a starting place to aid the beginning art history student in his/her search for library material. The list does not include materials on individual artists. The serious student will find other relevant sources by noting citations within the encyclopedias, books, journal articles, and other sources listed below in addition to searching Pitt Cat Plus, the ULS online catalog.
