Morning Masterpiece is a playful way to enjoy and learn art from your email.
Do you know who painted this?
450+ artworks by 200+ artists, and growing - from the ones everybody knows to the ones almost nobody does.
One email, your artworks inside it, and a single question for each - no preamble, nothing to scroll past.
Two buttons. Knowing and not knowing are worth exactly the same, so there is nothing to game - only yourself to be straight with.
Who made it and when they lived, the title, the year, the movement - and something genuinely interesting about this particular work.
This is the quiet part. Every answer reschedules the artwork - sooner if it slipped past you, later once it has settled. Nothing is ever retired for good, so the pieces you learned keep drifting back long after you stopped worrying about them.
And if you thought you knew but had it wrong, a link on the page brings it back sooner.
Everyone starts among the names you would expect. Answering earns points - and as your title climbs, artists the earlier titles held back begin turning up in your mornings.
Pick how many pieces you want - one on a quiet morning, nine if you are feeling ambitious. You can change it from the foot of any email.
A year costs less than seven months at the monthly rate.
