Grove Art Upgrade

We're delighted to announce that the latest update to Grove Art Online is now available at http://www.groveart.com/.

NEW THEMATIC ESSAY...
A major new thematic essay, Spirituality and Art, traces the spiritual role of art throughout the world, exploring subjects as various as the pyramids, still-life painting and contemporary installation art. It also highlights a wealth of Grove Art Online content beyond artists' biographies such as essays Religion and art, Shamanism, the Sublime, Jewish art, Native North American art and more. The article is available at http://www.groveart.com/grove-owned/art/spirituality_public.html.
