Since Android API level 29 ALBUM_ART constant is deprecated and plus
scoped storage approach we can't load artwork from absolute image path.
So if your app is running over Android API >= 29 you will get all artwork fields with null. To fetch images on these API levels you can use getArwork method.
/// detecting, loading and displaying an artist artwork.
ArtistInfo artist // assuming a non null instance
// check if artistArtPath isn't available.
(artist.artistArtPath == null)
