Riding a wave of interest in recommendation services, Art.sy debuted this week with a massive (and free) collection of fine-art images, and an online art appreciation guide. “It is predicated
on the idea that audiences comfortable with image-driven Web sites like Tumblr and Pinterest are now primed to spend hours browsing through canvases and sculpture on their monitors and tablets,
especially with one-click help,” The New York Times writes of the site. “The site aims to do for visual art what Pandora did for music and Netflix for film: become a source of discovery,
pleasure and education.”
