Disclaimer:
Artists may be classified or grouped many ways. The primary method used for this list is by movement. Other categories include discipline-medium, theme, subject matter, etc, and the artist’s gender, race, national origin, region, etc. Movements tend to gain prominence during a particular time-period of years, however artists from later years may align with the earlier movement and be grouped there. As with the English language there will be ‘exceptions to the rules’, some artists may elude classification while others may be categorized several different ways. This list is not comprehensive.
