Artists

Overview

Artists are the people linked from artworks. Each profile has a name, photo, short excerpt, full biography, and birth/death details. Create them under Artists → Add New Artist.

The editor shows the artist's page as visitors will see it: the photo beside the name, details and biography. Click Edit on a part to change it in a pop-up. The Artist panel in the sidebar lists the same parts. Revisions are on. There's no built-in artists archive page, so use the Artists or Artist block on a page. Each artist's own page lists the works linked to them, 60 at a time, with page links and a Load more button when there are more.

Fields

Each part of the page has an Edit button:

• Name — typed at the top of the editor
• Photo — portrait used in listings and on the artist's page. The Photo and the artist's featured image are the same picture: link previews when the page is shared, site search results and Hero blocks use it too
• Details
  • Nationality
  • Birth Date / Birth Location
  • Death Date / Death Location
• Biography
  • Biography — the longer biography on the artist's page, with headings, lists and links
  • Biography Excerpt — one or two sentences for the Artist and Artists blocks; the artist's page shows it when there's no Biography

Editor basics

• Editor: the page preview with Edit buttons. Below it, the page lists the artist's artworks: every published artwork that names them.
• No archive page: use blocks on a page
• URL slug: artist

Tips

• Create artists before artworks so you can link them while editing a work.
