There is an incredible new art app that I am proud to announce to you here on my web blog. The product is called Second Canvas, and it offers a novel way to experience art through tablet and smartphone devices that combines images, stories, and sharing options. Right now, it is only being used by the Museo National del Prado in Madrid, though it clearly signals an innovation in how people can and will experience art objects. Check out the YouTube video I attached to see just what Second Canvas does. However, never let the screen be a substitute for seeing and experiencing the power of paint, marble, paper and other wonderful mediums that can only truly be felt in the presence of art.

Perhaps you can tell me your thoughts on how you like to experience art and how you feel in the presence of truly remarkable works of art. One of my favorite paintings is The Garden of Earthly Delights by Hieronymus Bosch, located at the Prado. In Boston, at the several museums like the Museum of Fine Arts, the ICA, the Gardner and the Fogg (among others), the list of fine work is long, and I’m not really sure I can pick a few favorites fine art objects. Which ones are yours?
