# ...
>>> artist = session.get_artist(
...     'spotify:artist:22xRIphSN7IkPVbErICu7s')
>>> artist.load().name
u'Rob Dougan'

class spotify.ArtistBrowser(session, artist=None, type=None, callback=None, sp_artistbrowse=None, add_ref=True)

# ...
>>> artist = session.get_artist(
...     'spotify:artist:421vyBBkhgRAOz4cYPvrZJ')
>>> browser = artist.browse()
>>> browser.load()
>>> len(browser.albums)
