Some other notes on language search-terms:
- If you're looking for "women artists" or women of a specific culture, try separating terms into two search fields
- Example: to find images of works under the subject "Indian women potters", try searching for the term "Indian potters" generally, or add "women" as a separate term
- For style periods, search using "ist" suffixes, rather than "ism". For example, "Modernism" will be under the subject, while "Modernist" is the style.
