Opis: Allgemeines Kunst. Bio-Biblio v 4 Index A-Z

Hailed as one of the century's boldest publishing projects, the Allgemeines Künstlerlexikon now covers the A to C section. While already filling 22 volumes, this publication is therefore far from complete. A forerunner work will shortly be available, however, containing brief entries on the full range of artists from A to Z.

The Artists of the World, Bio-Bibliographical Dictionary from A-Z is a unique register of artists of all kinds, from all periods of history and all regions of the world. 500,000 artists have been included in this 10-volume reference work: not only painters, sculptors and architects, but also restorers, calligraphers and other craftsmen involved in the visual arts....>Biographical data in the A to C section has been taken directly from the Allgemeines Künstlerlexikon. From D onwards all entries contain at least one reference to a biographical dictionary of artists with information on the person. For this one work the AKL and more than 200 other reference works -- many of them running to several volumes -- were used.

Each entry sets out under the artist's name his or her date of birth and death, place of birth and death, and artistic occupation. Occupation descriptions are in English but the Dictionary also contains a five-language thesaurus which allows users to look up the equivalent in their own language. There are also instructions in English, French, German, Italian and Spanish on how to use the dictionary, making it a convenient source of information for researchers throughout the world.
