    I found this book at the library: Famous Artists of the Past by Alice Elizabeth Chasehttp://www.amazon.com/Famous-Artists-Past-alice-chase/dp/B0000CMB10/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1367431376&sr=8-1&keywords=famous+artists+of+the+past .  They have some older artists with little bites of information about them.  I have only just glanced over it but think it will be a good fit for picture study for those I can’t find information on them online.

    What I am wondering is if you know of a good book for some of the new artist that would be simular.  Short bio and a couple little prints of their work?

    Yes, Misty, I do know of several.  However, since they cover 20th century art, they ALL include artists and artworks that are VERY inappropriate.  You have just a few choices for 20th century–go “whole hog” and jump right in and discuss it all (mature students ONLY) or just pick out a few less objectionable ones and cover them yourselves using online resources.  Wish there were better choices out there, but have never run into a clean 20th century art survey.
