Art by MOKOO
“Oh,” the line went, “You remind me of the lovely Aletta Adriaensdr.“ was how I first came across the new App 'Art' by MOKOO. Of course the chat-up line was not directed at me, but so smoothly was it delivered, following a quick study session in the 'Gents' of a London pub, that the potential for this App, beyond its use by students and academics, was obvious, even too me.
The App's potential for spotting cads, in London pubs or elsewhere, is also not to be ignored. If the quarry of that particular opening had it installed on her phone she would quickly have referenced the 1639 masterpiece by Rembrandt to learn she was probably not being complimented at all! I worry as to how the evening progressed when I had left!
The App has 627 thumbnails covering the key moments of western art that you can browse by category or as a gallery. There is also access to many authoritative YouTube video documentaries of the key moments and important artists. It adds up to a substantial course that you can carry with you anywhere.
From now on, if a bounder compares you to “Marie-Louise O'Murphy” you will know exactly how to respond!
