About Grove Art Online:
Grove Art Online
is today's foremost scholarly art encyclopedia covering all aspects of
Western and non-Western visual art. It includes the full text of The Dictionary of Art
edited by Jane Turner (1996, 34 volumes) – the landmark reference work
containing more than 45,000 articles (more than 21,000 biographies and
500,000 bibliographical citations) contributed by 6,700 scholars from 120 countries.
Grove Art Online is maintained with a regular update program to
articles and bibliographies. Each year, new articles are added to enhance
the coverage of significant areas of the visual arts with the participation
of more than 1,000 international art historians. All new content continues
to be written and peer reviewed by scholars and specialists.
Grove Art serves as a unique guide to all the visual arts:
painting, sculpture, architecture, photography, drawing, printmaking,
as well as the decorative arts. The Dictionary of Art ranges
far both geographically and historically; it features unparalleled
coverage of Africa, Southeast Asia, Central Asia and Mongolia,
China, India, the Islamic world, Japan, Korea, Native North
America, Pacific and Aboriginal Australia, Pre-Columbian America,
Ancient Egypt, Ancient Greece, the Ancient Near East, and
Ancient Rome. Providing depth as well as breadth, The Dictionary
of Art examines important art forms and key issues of design,
taste, function, and patronage, illuminating them in light
of the cultural context in which they developed.
