Photography
The photography records are incomplete, but it is known that much of the work was photographed by Quesada/Burk, Greg Heins, Thomas Powell, Light Blue Studio, John Bigelow Taylor, Steward Clements, Hubbard Toombs, Alex Stevovich, Adam Adelson, and Andrew Stevovich himself.
Goals
This website serves as a digital catalogue raisonné of Andrew Stevovich's complete body of work. Its primary goal is to present a comprehensive visual archive and gallery of his paintings, drawings, prints, and related works.
The Complete Works
The central objective has been to display as much of Andrew Stevovich’s artwork as possible, approaching a near-complete record. Most sections are now largely complete, with only a few oil paintings missing due to lost records or omission by the artist.
The drawings section remains partial, as many sketches and studies were never documented or have been lost; additional material will be added as it becomes available.
The website prioritizes large, responsive displays that create a gallery-like experience on desktop devices. The arrangement of artworks is intended to emphasize unity, stylistic development, and chronological progression throughout Stevovich’s career.
Relational Database & Conenctivity
This site functions as a relational database designed to show the connections between artworks and related materials. Paintings link to their preparatory drawings, publications, and exhibitions, while each data point maintains traceable relationships within the archive. A key goal has been to ensure full interconnectivity across all entries.
Settings
There are four configurable settings on this website which can be accessed from the side menu. Preferences persist for approximately 24 hours.
Theme
Controls the overall color theme of the website.
Measurement Units
Toggles displayed measurement units between Imperial and Metric.
Some dynamic sections—such as Journal, Reviews, and Updates—may not fully conform to this setting.
Advanced Data
Displays analytical or specialized data about items on the site, such as color analysis, machine learning studies, or other complex information relevant to research.
Archival Data
Displays internal identifiers and serial numbers related to the site’s database infrastructure. This includes identification codes for artworks and related properties.
Technology
This website is a mix of static pages and dynamic server-side rendering. Its front end and back end HTML are built entirely with Lydio, running on a hand-made server and using no external frameworks.
A lightweight CMS manages selected content.
Database
TThe database is maintained offline and was originally bootstrapped using Google Sheets. As the project’s structural requirements grew, it evolved into a JSON-based format. It is supported by a custom processing pipeline that constructs relational data, analyzes artworks, audits entries, and merges the results with runtime server data.
Lydio
All HTML is programmatically composed using Lydio and an array of custom Lydio components, used in both static generation and runtime rendering.
Marle
The Journal, Updates, Reviews, and other dynamic sections are powered by the Marle markup blogging system.
