Using library databases to find images will ensure that you are finding high-quality, unaltered versions of images. These databases include images not only of two-dimensional art but also photographs of sculptures, textiles, multimedia and other kinds of three-dimensional materials as well.
When you are discussing images or videos in your paper, don't forget to cite where you saw the image. These databases will give you information about how to cite the images in them.
As of August 2024, the Artstor platform will no longer be available. All Artstor content will be accessible on JSTOR. Artstor includes over 500,000 images embracing architecture, painting, sculpture, photography, decorative arts, and design as well as many other forms of visual culture.
Finding art books may also be a good way to find high-quality images. You can search the library catalog for books. Try searching for an artist's name or an art movement. Most of our books are on the third floor of the library, and many art books can be found in our Oversize stacks.
