From what I can gather, you just have to give it your best shot. If you notice on the web site they feature the works of Alice Neel and Alex Katz, two quite non traditional portraitists. Trevor Fairbrother has written books on Sargent, the woman from the National Gallery is an expert on 18th century painting, the others seem to prefer more avante garde work and have written books about Alice Neel, and Han Namuth, who photographed Jackson Pollack. So it is a crap shoot.
