Currated Art
-
@maros Thanks for jumping in. I am using MMM-Wallpaper already.
Its about a good source for curated art/pictures to show.
I found Saatchiart, Artspace, Magnum Photos, Albertina, but was not able to find a plugin which pulls comparable sources.
-
Of course, there is always a copyright issue to use commercial arts.
I don’t know whether any kind of public domain arts exists and be open for digital usage. If there is, making module is not so difficult, I think. -
@Sean you can find over 45k free famous oil paintings in high resolution on :
https://images.nga.govas mentioned on page :
More than 51,000 open access digital images up to 4000 pixels each are available free of charge for download and use. -
@maros Interesting. I’m watching now.
-
@Sean yes it looks great but for me the page is little bit slow :( so i’m not sure how fast it will work in module.

First thing that came to my mind:
“Every piece of art you’ve ever wanted to see – up close and searchable” by Amit Sood at TED, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjB6DQGalU0
(if you don’t watch the full 15 min, check 4:00 min)https://artsandculture.google.com/
In a quick search, I couldn’t find any current information on whether there is an API, but I’d guess so.
-
@doubleT I cannot find API. I think that is some kind of magazine not service with available API. Anyway, that’s nice program.
@Maros NGA doesn’t have API. Maybe crawling can be available, but…I found Rijks Museum (in Amsterdam) and Tate (London) and something else.
So, I madeMMM-Rijksfirst.

@mykle1 oops, my afternoon… :(
-
I’m sure there’s an API for Arts&Culture. Everything on Google has an API. And it’s in the Cloud. There’s API documentation for the previous version, Google’s “Project Art” / “OpenGallery”.
Edit: https://developers.google.com/opengallery/ => 404 :(

Everything seems reachable … :/
