Art and Artist Birthdays

New day, new month, new random feature: artist birthdays. As befits this blog’s title, the number and variety of the names that appear may make this list appear as though it was chosen at random.

It was. Almost. The names are organized by the type of artist and year of birth.

Oh – and there is one last random thing: today’s entry will cover two days - November 30th and December 1st.
