I haven't done this for so long that I'm forgetting the little I began to learn in November!
I used to Flickr to look for more work by artists I like (an obvious use, although I caution people to remember that reproduction quality may be suspect with ANY reproduction). Anything where images are needed as a primary source or supportive evidence makes this a useful tool. And being able to start with something like "jawlensky" ( a known item) and use people's tags to look for other abstract art, makes this doubly useful.
FYI - I fell in love with Jawlensky's paintings when I was an intern at the Long Beach Museum of Art. At the time they had numerous Jawlensky paintings stored in the attic, and I got to spend lots of time with them - they grow on you when you see them en masse, particularly because many are quite small and have an overall effect of a devotional image, something to meditate upon.
