Art in a Time of Social Distancing

Renee Magritte “The Lovers”, 1928

As Picasso once said, “Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.”

In stressful times I always find joy in looking at art and beautiful things in general. While museums and galleries are closed and travel is at a standstill, here are some wonderful online resources to help wash away the dust!

Artsandculture.google.com has a wealth of content to explore. One of my favorites is the Art Time Explorer with artworks arranged chronologically by period from antiquity to present day.

Hundreds of museums now have a portion of their collections available virtually. Some of the major ones include The Guggenheim, Tate Modern, The National Gallery of Art, The Louvre, The Met, The Uffizi, and The Vatican.

Or, if you’re feeling creative, download a coloring page and re-imagine some masterworks with your own palette.

And if you’d like to chat about art, I’m now offering virtual art consultations. Send a request here.

Be well!
