Use the archive like a designer, not like a tourist.

There are three ways into this archive, and none of them is wrong. Start from an image if you already like how something looks. Start from a movement if you want structure and context first. Start from a palette if color is the only thing you actually came here for. This page walks through all three so you stop guessing which door to use.

Image, Style, Color — three entry paths, one archive

Three ways in, no wrong door.

Pick whichever matches how your brain actually works right now — image first, structure first, or color first.

When you don't know the name yet, trust the image.

Browse the Gallery first if you're chasing a feeling or a look and don't yet have the vocabulary for it.

Start with the Gallery

When you want structure, start with the style.

Browse by Movement if you want the context before the canvas — what defines each style, which artists built it.

Start with Movements

When color is the real reason you're here, skip straight to it.

Go to Palettes if you already know it's the color logic you need — extracted swatches and a picker tool.

Start with Palettes

A note on how the paths connect.

None of these three routes are dead ends. Every artwork links back to its movement and artist. Every movement page links out to its landmark works and palette. Every palette traces back to the specific painting it came from. Wherever you start, you can always follow the thread somewhere else.
