artbull-structure-and-exposition

separate

Use when organizing an Art Bulletin article so the argument unfolds clearly and the figures are integrated at the right moments within the ~16,000-word limit including endnotes. Art-historical exposition must move the reader through the objects, not around them. Shapes structure; it does not write the prose or do the analysis.

When to use

• Outlining the article
• Reordering a draft that wanders
• Deciding where each figure is introduced and discussed
• Cutting to fit ~16,000 words including endnotes
• Fixing structure found hard to follow
• Fixing structure front-loaded with description

When not to use

• Writing the prose
• Doing the analysis
• Sentence-level craft
• Citation
