About Citing Works of Art

When citing an image or piece of art, note the artist's name, the title of the piece of art, the date of composition, and the institution that houses it. 

For reproductions of art, include the publication information for the source where it appears.

For each type of source in this guide, both the general form and a specific example will be provided.

The following format will be used:

Parenthetical Citation - entry that appears in the body of your paper.

Works Cited - entry that appears at the end of your paper.

Information on citing and several of the examples were drawn from the MLA Handbook (7th ed.)

Numbers in parentheses refer to specific pages in the manual.
