Published Articles

Fine Art Touch is proud to feature here a variety of published articles by art historian and author, Brenda Harness. As more published articles become available, Fine Art Touch will post them here. Most published articles here will be about individual artists, art works, and other art-related topics. However, Fine Art Touch might occasionally feature non-art published articles here from time to time if they are sufficiently entertaining. This site may eventually be opened to art-related published articles by other authors.
