Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than 50 years ago Dorothy and Marion Brewington began their search to identify the world's marine artists. In convenient dictionary form, the results of this monumental task have been published jointly by the Peabody Museum of Salem, Massachusetts, and Mystic Seaport Museum. Alphabetical entries offer information on the careers of 3,074 American, European, Chinese, and Japanese artists. The emphasis is upon the obscure semi-professional pierhead painters of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries not found in standard references. Living artists are not included. This is an essential reference for art scholars, collectors, and libraries.

This book was released on 2000 with total page 644 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The third edition of The Dictionary of Sea Painters further enhances its stature as the pre-eminent reference guide in its field. Marine painting, as befits the historical importance of its subject, has a rich and varied heritage. The range stretches from the heroics of great artists such as Turner to the humble yet finely detailed harbour paintings intended for master mariners. The range of work between these two extremes is widely collected and admired, and the dictionary satisfies an ever-growing demand for authoritative information from collectors, dealers and auction houses. Other sections of the book offer a wealth of further information. There are detailed drawings of the stems and sterns of important ships, and maritime flags are illustrated in colour - an asset for the purposes of dating and identification.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dictionary is certain to have a major and lasting impact on both the study and the collecting of scrimshaw, that ever-popular folk art of whalemen. In his ground-breaking work, Dr. Frank, Director of the Kendall Whaling Museum, has cataloged every known and recorded scrimshaw artist active through the early twentieth century. His persistent search has unearthed an immense amount of significant, often fascinating, information on these little-known artisans. This book is indispensable to the collector, curator, and scholar of maritime and folk art. The North American Society for Oceanic History named A Dictionary of Scrimshaw Artists the best maritime reference book published in 1992.

This book was released on 1995 with total page 584 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Witt Library of the Courtauld Institute of Art, London, is one of the world's greatest art history libraries. It contains some 1.7 million illustrations of the work of painters, draughtsmen, and engravers of the Western tradition, all of whom have been indexed by name, dates, and nationality. This new second edition of the Checklist of Painters is a transcription of the Witt index as it currently exists. The names of 66,000 artists, their dates, and their nationality (or school) are reproduced in alphabetical order. The Checklist of Painters is probably the most exhaustive work of its kind in existence; it now lists all painters (known by art historians) to have lived and worked from the year 1200 to 1994.

Several hundred cross-references link the various names used by some artists during the course of their careers.
