How does Art Authority bring this vast world of art to you? We download most of it all from our own servers, where it's been optimized for quality, size and speed. For more recent works still under copyright, Art Authority downloads from an authorized Web site instead. The result: a comprehensive, continual view of western art from its origins through current times.

Well done!
Nice renditions of art works spanning the decades. I enjoy the ability to begin a slideshow, and either view a period, or have it randomly show me great works of art along with the pertinent info. If you are a art fan, pick up this app!
Cool but...
Great idea and executed well but only one Salvador Dali piece? When we see more from him, this will be an impeccable app.
Very nice, but could be better
I've really enjoyed using this app since I downloaded it. I have found myself wishing it had a favorites feature, so you could save your favorite pieces to a folder within the app.
Also there's something buggy about the surrealism section. All the titles are messed up and there are hardly any images.
Other than those two small things I am very pleased.
