Illinois Historical Art Project
The Illinois Historical Art Project [IHAP] is dedicated to original source material and biographical information on artists of Illinois. 99% of all web-based information on Illinois artists comes from IHAP. Because we have used over 100,000 source documents such as newspaper articles, artist correspondence, rare exhibition catalogues and diaries to compile biographical information on Illinois artists, our information is accurate.
IHAP has compiled histories of over 1,500 artists who meet the following criteria:
· BORN before 1/1/1900.
· LIVED at least ½ their career in Illinois or closely attached to the state.
· PRIMARILY were painters, not sculptors or printmakers.
IHAP makes no distinction about the style of an artist's oeuvre; whether they were modernists, impressionists, genre painters, still-life artists, scenic artists, naïve painters, etc., makes has no impact on our extensive information.
In addition, if you are interested in what artists belonged to which organization, the names of artists who studied with various professors, the institutions that own an artist's work or any number of variant themes, our relational database will provide the answer.
