I find that Mark Harden's artchive is really helpful for gathering facts
about artists. The photos are quite large and may take a bit to load if
you are not on a T1 line, but worth the wait. There is also biographical
information available.

hope this helps

Hi Kathy,

I found a great little resource in a museum in Washington, DC, I believe-
but you could probably find it elsewhere. It is entitled,
"Accents on Artists" by Barbara and Peter Toohil. It was published by
"Art
'N Facts Inc."
It gives pronunciations and short facts about over 800 artists. I find it
invaluable.

Andrea in Pa.
