Art App


I have only had my iPhone for a short time, so I had not seen this app before, but I love it! You can download images and even take a an art quiz (my best score so far: 48170 145/150 in a session time of 12:33 min). I have even been introduced to a couple of artists whose work I had not seen before, all for only 99 cents.

This is not a paid endorsement, it's an art lovers endorsement.

The Ice Maiden by Edmund Dulac, 1915,
illustration for The Ice Maiden by Hans Christian Andersen, 1861.

In the story of The Ice Maiden, a young boy falls into a crevasse in a glacier and into the the realm of the Ice Maiden who bestows a kiss on him, but he is rescued before she can make him completely her own.

She sails on a light pine twig over the foaming river below, and leaps lightly from one rock to another, with her long, snow-white hair fluttering about her, and her blue-green robe glistening like the water in the deep Swiss lakes.

She is not a kindly maiden, but a cruel and beautiful one, just like winter.
