Featuring full-text articles plus abstracting and indexing of an international array of peer-selected publications,
Art Full Text is an unmatched resource for art information.
The database covers fine, decorative, and commercial art as well as photography, folk art, film, architecture, and much more.
In recent years, its coverage of Latin American, Canadian, Asian, and non-Western art has expanded greatly, along with its material on new artists,
contemporary art, exhibition reviews, and feminist criticism.
More than simply a resource for art students and art historians, Art Full Text rounds out the research experience for those
studying other fields, such as women’s, media, or cultural studies, history, anthropology, industrial design, and more. The variety of periodicals
covered means that there is also much to interest the casual user who just wants to learn about art.
Art Full Text features:
High quality indexing of more than 500
periodicals as far back as 1984, many of them
peer-reviewed.
In-depth abstracts of some 50-300 words each, written by qualified H.W. Wilson staff for every article indexed.
Full text
of articles from nearly 200 journals as far back as

publications covered).

many are peer-reviewed.
Indexing of art reproductions enabling library patrons to focus on a single artist or individual works.
