An Artist A Day
A museum in your pocket, one artist a day.
Every morning the app opens on a painter who was born, or died, on that date, with their finest works filling your screen. Hundreds of artists and thousands of paintings live on your phone, so it works anywhere, with or without a connection.
Six centuries of painting, one date at a time.
From Bruegel to Schiele, every artist arrives with a hand-picked set of their best-known works.
Admire as much as you can; most people don't admire enough.
A small daily ritual that adds up to an education in art.
Today's artist
Every date belongs to someone. The app finds the painters born or lost on it and opens with their work. On a quiet day, it picks one for you.
Their finest works
A curated set of each artist's best-known paintings, edge to edge on your screen. Zoom into the brushwork, or open the whole canvas.
Guess the artist
One painting, four names. A quiz that turns looking into knowing, and shows the title and date once you've answered.
Open anywhere
The whole collection lives on your phone, so the museum stays open on the subway, on a plane, or deep in the countryside.
New every month
New artists and paintings arrive regularly, quietly, without you having to update a thing.

I built An Artist A Day because I wanted a small reason, every morning, to stop and look at great art. Ten years on, I still start my day with it.
