Owners are finding myriad ways to use their iPad to increase their productivity and stay connected via social networks, but there’s no denying that the device is ideal for the consumption of media—movies, news and art.
Yes, art. There are several iPad apps in the iTunes App Store that allow you to view art. It’s as passive as standing in front of a painting in a museum, but you can do it from anywhere.
Art Authority for iPad ($9.99) is probably the most comprehensive of these iPad apps. Set up like a virtual museum, you can choose from a variety of galleries—Early through Modern, Contemporary and American. There is also an artist directory that lets you browse through the list of included artists. You do have to be online to use the app, though you will be able to view cached images offline. The $9.99 price tag seems expensive for a reorganization of stuff that can be found on the Internet, but Art Authority does a nice job.
Van Gogh HD, Picasso HD and Klimt HD(each app is 99 cents)each contain huge galleries of each artists’ work, categorized by period. Paintings look stunning on the iPad screen, and you can save them to Photo to be used as wallpapers, or send in an email. With a tap, slideshows will be accompanied by classical music.
