| Picasso and Matisse (FA 173b), taught by Professor Nancy Scott, examines the major contributions of all periods of Picasso's career, with special focus on the development of Cubism, counterbalanced with the color expression of Matisse and the Fauves.

To find an exhibition catalog focused on an artist or a particular topic, perform a keyword search that includes the artist's name (last is usually sufficient) or the topic word or words and the search word exhibition? -- this truncation (symbol: ? or *) will search for both the descriptive word exhibition and the subject word exhibitions.
Caveat: do not use the word exhibit (or exhibits) in your search--you might get a few results, but exhibit or exhibits is not used consistently in bibliographic records for exhibition catalogs.
So, to find all the Matisse exhibition catalogs at Brandeis, perform this LOUIS keyword search:
matisse exhibition?
To find all the exhibition catalogs on Cubism held by Brandeis, perform this LOUIS keyword search:
cubism exhibition?
To find all the exhibition catalogs of Picasso or Matisse at the Metropolitan Museum of Art held by Brandeis, perform this LOUIS keyword search:
(picasso or matisse) metropolitan exhibition?
WorldCat is a combined (union) catalog for most of the libraries in the United States and many foreign libraries as well.
This is the best way to find books and journals not at Brandeis.
