If you cant tell a Da Vinci from a De Kooning, then this is the art app for you. The Art Guide takes you on a tour of the worlds greatest art - from the cave paintings at Lascaux, all the way to the graffiti art of Banksy. It describes each significant artistic period, the major artists of each period, and over 300 high-resolution, color images of the masterpieces they created.
The Art Guide includes the current location of each featured artwork, and lists of the worlds greatest art museums, the twenty-five most expensive artworks ever sold, and the greatest art heists and unrecovered artworks. This guide is ideal for art history students or for anyone who wants to learn about and appreciate art.
Latest reviews of The Art Guide app for iPhone and iPad
This app basically is a web page about art history, sorted by historical epochs. The text is concise and ok, but the pictures are often quite small and only cover a small part of the screen. Not worth the money, one can find this on the Internet in better quality.
Text page feels too cluttered; unappealing layout for reading. "Magnifier" icon does nothing. I want to be able to enlarge image or focus in on a particular feature. Only one or two works of art shown for an artist. It would be nice to see more.
Beautiful images and the highlights of each artists work. I loved this app.
Nice study tool
