| Heading type | Tag | Heading | Subdivision |

True, the Sacrifice of Isaac and your favorite bowling ball have nothing
in common, but think of the type of heading when deciding how to express
that subject as a theme in art.
These first four examples are all subdivided by $x In art. |
| lived after 1400 | 600 | Ruth, Babe, 1895-1948 | $x Portraits |
| lived after 1400 | 600 | Sacagawea, 1786-1884 | $x Portraits |
Both persons lived after 1400, so their headings are subdivided by $x Portraits. |
| UT as physical object | 630 | Bible | $x In art |
When depicted in art as an object, e.g. as a roll or a codex, Bible is properly
subdivided by $x In art.
Compare with the depictions of biblical subjects in art below. |
| countries, cities, etc. | 651 | Great Britain--Biography | $x Portraits |
The combination $x Biography $x Portraits is valid after countries, cities, etc.

| city | 651 | Butte (Mont.) | $x In art |
| countries, cities, etc. | 651 | Turtle Creek (W. Va.) | $x In art |

The authority record for Art (sh 85-7461) first gives instructions
for $x Art, then $x In art, as subdivisions added to the basic heading.
A final category is a topic which has in art added as a phrase. The phrase
is not "free-floating"; each _____ in art is a separately-established heading.
Turtles and Turtles in art are two distinct LC headings.
(The others are for illustrative purposes only, although Prints, Japanese, in art
is correctly punctuated per H 362! |
| corporate bodies | 610 | Cistercians | $x In art |
Corporate bodies are subdivided by $x In art. Another valid subdivision
under corporate bodies, $x Biography $x Portraits, expresses a different
concept: the depiction of individual members in art. |
| class of persons | 650 | Poets, Georgian | $x Portraits |
| ethnic group | 650 | Georgians (Transcaucasians) | $x Portraits |

| subj. of literary form | 650 | Laudatory poetry, Yoruba | $x Illustrations |
| person's written works | 600 | Blake, William, 1757-1827 | $x Illustrations |
These last examples -- a sacred work, literary form, and individual author --
are all subdivided by $x Illustrations to express pictorial representations
depicting the subject of the work, found in the work, or in works by the person.
Compare the heading for a biblical subject in art with that for the Bible
represented as a physical object.
Compare the heading for illustrations of an author's work with that for the
author himself portrayed in art. |
