Artips is arguably one of the regular emails I have the greatest pleasure to receive and … to read. Artips is a free daily newsletter that revisits the history of art. An e-letter that tells a short and original anecdote about a famous or unknown work of art. Pure happiness.
Every day a story to discover about a work or an artist to put art in your daily life. Each anecdote can be read in just over a minute. The stories are written in a dynamic style that everyone can understand. They are of course illustrated by images of the works that can be displayed in full screen. The message can be read on all screens. Your computer, but also your tablet or smartphone to be able to access it from anywhere when you have a minute.
Why did Michelangelo come back to sign his Pietà like a thief? Why does the waitress at the Folies-Bergères bar represented by Manet seem so melancholy? What are the not-so-surrealistic premonitions of Dali or Brauner? Some of the puzzles and questions answered by the Artips fact sheets. Sheets written by more than 200 enlightened amateurs, art history teachers, guides, lecturers, art history students, but each published anecdote is checked by specialists before publication. And if you want to share a story, a work or an anecdote, Artips allows you to do so with a simple click.
A real good idea for daily discoveries. Artips is a free newsletter that is sent from Monday to Thursday directly to your mailbox. You can subscribe directly from the website.
