The Artists
Modern & Contemporary Visual Artists (since 1900) are represented with their portrait, biography and/or portfolio, with links to web resources for further research, with images of their artworks, articles, and if it exists, the artist's personal website.

The Art Story
The Art Story aims to demystify Modern Art (1850-1980) and further art appreciation. "Modern Art is about ideas that should be exposed to the world, and this website and the organization as a whole strive to achieve this goal" (Michael Zurakhinsky).

... and, of course, Wikipedia's Visual Arts Portal
