Print Sources

Although I avoid footnotes like the plague, three longer articles cite some essentials:

Some Favorites on the Web

Here are some Web sites that I have bookmarked for my own utility, annoyance, or pleasure. Of course, so many artists have their own sites now that I do not pretend to keep up, much less to list them here! Many other bloggers report, briefly and enthusiastically, on the galleries they visit, with snapshots or amateur video. Since they do not interest me, I omit them.
