Biography Guidelines
When submitting biographical information, we appreciate your consideration of the
following:
Please keep in mind that AskART is not a promotional site, and accordingly biographical
information should not be worded for purposes of 'advertising' an artist.
Our site is about PAINTERS, SCULPTORS, and ILLUSTRATORS who live, or have lived and
worked, in the United States. If you do not know a great deal about the artist, but have
noteworthy information to share, we would welcome you to send it also to
registrar(a)AskART.com. It is rewarding for all of us to see artists' files grow, and
others may be eager to supplement what you have provided.
Non-Dealers and Museums:
Please introduce your information as follows: "The following biographical information
has been provided by Jane Doe, the niece of the artist."
Dealers and Museums will be automatically credited with a link to their sites.
Just the facts, please. Our editors are trained to delete any hype or advertising verbiage
such as “most famous,” “internationally renowned,” “extraordinarily beautiful works.”
If you do not know a great deal about the artist, answer as many of the following
questions as you can. Other persons, seeing your entry, often add to the data. This is how
many of the biographies grow.
Please include in your biography answers to as many of the following questions as
possible:
a.. What are the subjects and styles (and other distinctive characteristics) for which
the artist’s work is best known?
b.. Is the artist identified with any particular art movements, or artists, who
influenced his or her work?
c.. Where, when, and under whom did the artist receive education and training?
d.. Can you provide all relevant personal background information on the artist?
e.. In which Art Organizations was the artist a member?
f.. Can you provide a list of all major museum and artist association exhibitions?
(excluding commercial art galleries).
g.. What awards or other recognition did the artist win?
h.. What museums (name, city, and state) currently hold works by the artist in their
permanent collections?
i.. Required: What are the sources for your information? For books, list title, author,
date of publication. (Optional: cite number of pages and yes/no if there are color
images.) For magazine articles, cite title of article, author, title of publication, date,
and page number if possible.
j.. Required: the name of the person submitting the information.
Dealer Note: Please enter books, periodicals and museum references in the space provided.
Do not combine book information with biography.
There are many strong biographies that you may refer to on our website, such as Cecilia
Beaux, Edward Hopper, and Paul Sample. Please do not submit biographies with minimal facts
or excessively promotional writing such as the following (unusable) wording:
What NOT to send:
"The artist John Doe is the quintessential master of light, color, and scene.
His brilliant canvases are full of feeling, where love can be felt through all the senses.
Through his skillful brushwork, and drawing from his life experiences, he creates images
where the viewer feels he has truly become one with the subject. Doe's paintings are
sure to be sought by the discriminating collector. I/we have numerous spectacular works by
Doe available for sale."
We appreciate your participation in AskART. If you have any questions about submitting
biographies, please send them to registrar(a)askart.com

Subject: Carpenter & similar last names that are Artists or Painters
Hello All,
AskArt has a list of Carpenter Artists and Painters. Some times not much is known about
them.
Terry Lee Carpenter and I, upon occasion, have tried to update some of the entries. Now
it is your turn!
Can you help out?
Maybe you know of or something of these artists and painters. Maybe you think some one
needs to be added? If you do, please let me know!
Check out the list at:
