Art for Culture
Vultures
How fab of Google to create a website yesterday dedicated to
art. Googleartproject.com was launched
yesterday morning and I must admit, it’s really good.
Step 1 - Pick an art gallery or collection from anywhere in
the world. Step 2 – view some of the art
work/paintings/masterpieces from the gallery or take a virtual tour. What a great concept. If you love art (like me) and appreciate fine
art (like me), you’ll love this. Lets
face it – the chances of me travelling the world to experience all the art work
that I would like to see is highly unlikely.
This is due not just to the cost implications but also having two small
children who would rather go and see Mr Tumbles
than Picasso.
Got to admire
concepts like this. Highly innovative
and letting us all have a taste for culture and inspiration – free of charge.
Clearly this will never replace seeing the artworks live; in
front of your eyes, but the chances of travelling the world and seeing them all
live is not exactly realistic for me.
Thank you Google.
