Art sites I like
- The National Gallery of Art
- Conscientious, Jörg Colberg’s weblog about fine-art photography (and more); now Conscientious Photography Magazine (CPhMag)
- John Lusis Photography – my kid’s artwork
- The American Memory Collection and the Prints & Photographs catalog since they added the “Preview Images” button at Library of Congress
- Carol Gerten’s Fine Art, CGFA, a relic of the early Internet, that still mostly works
- ::: UW Libraries Digital Collections ::: , a whole slew of historical photographs at the University of Washington – where they invented ContentDM, now licensed by OCLC, software that is being used by a ton of libraries, museums, and archives for their digitization projects
- Formerly Corbis, an online commercial photo stockhouse, built by Bill Gates acquiring other traditional stockhouses like Bettmann. It’s Getty Images again. It’s kind of cool – they now provide embed code with credits for the royalty free images, for the small sizes for your blog.
- They Still Draw Pictures, children’s art made during the Spanish Civil War
- MoMA& the Met & the Whitney
- Artcyclopedia and ArtLex , online art reference books, more relics of an earlier Internet
- The National Portrait Gallery (UK) almost 200,000 famous Brits; our US National Portrait Gallery is good but not as good.
