@ariel_jedrzejczak we're planning to overhaul the landing page a bit later. It will also contain more examples of the available wallpapers.
For now, you can check out our Instagram, we're posting 2 pics from our collection daily: https://www.instagram.com/Artpap...
@ariel_jedrzejczak Thanks, Ariel, got you!
It's gonna be pretty hard to include 1000+ images into the product description, though :)
@liakh_andrii It could be just some wall of thumbnails just to take a look.
BTW all of images are CC0 licensed?
Would love to see this with contemporary art rather than a buncha dead painter dudes. Art!
@lucaswglenn we're working on that. We added East Side Gallery in the last update. It's kind of contemp :) More to come, of course.
@alex_chernikov 30 years ago is closer!
And maybe it's a different product altogether, but I would love to see new work from Documenta, PS1, Serpentine, Whitney, LACMA, SFMoma, Tate Modern, Mori Art Museum, MOCA Shanghai, Hamburger Bahnhof, etc.
@alex_chernikov
Nice Idea. I tried to find out how did you manage to scan/photograph these HiRes pictures. Because it is not easy at all to capture classic paintings without professional cameras and lights and of course private access to those arts. How did you get them? :)
@alex_chernikov @majidk Thanks. Majid. That's actually pretty easy, the museums make the photos themselves :)
@alex_chernikov @liakh_andrii
I hope I am wrong. So tell me: you are not getting the scans from "Google Arts and Culture" that are free and under public license and offer them in an paid App?
@liakh_andrii so is my assumption true? Look I am not in a position here to say what is wrong or right about this ethical situation. But my opinion as an artist: The works of these great painting masters are already free; Cultural Institutions are trying for years to preserve these artifacts and then try to carefully scan and document these art pieces with a lot of effort and offer them free to the public. The process of scanning these pieces is not an easy one at all. So there you can see: a lot work had happened, from the artist, through the museums and then the team that documenting them, all for free. And you are trying to sell it and the end of the day (as if you just scanned all these works) with a price tag of 9.99$. So IMHO it is ethically wrong.
@liakh_andrii @majidk Couldn't agree more. I don't wanna be a dick, but I hope someone extracts the images from this app and upload them somewhere on a nice and free zip file. I think this is a post on /r/wallpapers, not a product.
@thomas_lucyfer the good news is that we're planning on porting AP for other platforms, too!
