I snagged up a bunch of free apps that relate to art and art history for my Android Tablet, and I will give you a full review on each of them.  The first comes from a series of apps from the developer Santpal Dhillon.  Each app focuses on one artist and their body of work.  The first one I looked at devotes itself to the art of Amedeo Modigliani.  Not a flashy app, but it gives you one important aspect:  An artist’s work in one place.  One thing I do like about this app?  The collected examples helps a person fully recognize an artist’s style.  While I knew that Modigliani rendered the flaws of his subjects such as their double chins, armpit hair, and wrinkles, he still gave them this stylized, ethereal beauty.  The eyes of Modigliani’s people range from normal eyes with pupils to blank eyes with either a blue or black color.  One would think they traveled from some other world so Modigliani could paint them.  The series also shows that the painter could execute a naturalist style if he wanted to.

For those wanting a biography, expect only a few links to websites.  Also,  the app contains multiple copies of one painting.

ETA:  By the way, the intro photograph of the artists shows that when it came to facial features, Andy Garcia had nothing in common with Modigliani.

ETA: Rewrote a sentence.

Update 1/3/2015:  I added a link.
