See links in the category: Links to artist and artwork presentations  , you can also browse the pages of other museums. Take a look at several introductions to find an artist who interests you, an artist whose work and artworks resonates with you or speak to you. After making a choice, take a deeper look at the artist by searching for images of works and information online, e.g. on the artist's own website.
