Art
|
|
|
Although it is just one of the forms of art here we mainly discuss paintings. Like photograpy a very graphic form of art that invites to take pictures of it and put them on-line. For us a almost infinitive source of materials to grab.
When you are looking for paintings of a specific painter, just a search for his name will be enough. Just type e.g.
Rembrandt
,
Van Gogh
,
Cezanne
,
Picasso
or
Michelangelo
. And you will get soon images of all those artists ever painted. Of course you will also get things like the menu of pizerria "Michelangelo" in Berlin but 90% of the results is images of paintings.
The same is true for most other artists. Type
Gaudi
in the seach bar to download a few hundreds of images of the buildings of this architect from Barcelona.
Besides this, try common terms as
modern art
,
architectiure
,
fantasy painting
or
Japanese architecture
. Art is a form of on-line content that is not (yet) over-commercialized so the search engines, and that is where GrabJPG finds its results, can come up with very accurate results.
