awfull. no just no. dont go to cuckpedia for anything. its become a biased hellhole for past 5 years. all all the excitement and fascination of history will be reduced to dry late night reading from a monitor.

seek out books, on individuals, styles, movements,

and also documentaries , i would be careful of this. but there some good ones.


it would be nice if some anons cold recommend some.

Can you recommend some good ones that aren't about the impressionists, conceptual art, or the old masters?

All my resources are by written my native authors, so I can't help you much with that. Try "The Story of Art" by E.Gombrich

To study the paintings I use this site:

What's your native language?

despite all the bitching and moaning, wikipedia is a pretty decent resource. extensive, full of links, offers general overviews as well as more in-depth looks at particular movements and artists, images, etc.

and then if you want more info on something you discover, google more resources.

>implying 'bias' can significantly impede your understanding of the unfathomably unimportant topic of 'art history'

>all the excitement and fascination of history will be reduced to dry late night reading from a monitor.

That's all art history is good for.
