Over the years at NADA, we’ve met many people who love art but often feel they should “know more” when they walk into a gallery or museum.
Collectors, enthusiasts, and even seasoned visitors sometimes say the same thing: they wish they felt more confident recognising artists, movements, and important works.
Art history can feel overwhelming. Hundreds of years, thousands of artists, and endless terminology. But one truth sits beneath it all — the more art you see, the more your eye begins to recognise patterns.
That simple idea became the foundation for something new.
We’re pleased to introduce Artlingo, a new app designed to help people build visual confidence with art through short daily sessions.
Rather than relying on long essays or academic reading, Art;ingo focuses on recognition. Users practice identifying artists, titles, movements and time periods while viewing some of the most important artworks from the last five hundred years.
Over time, repetition builds familiarity — and familiarity builds understanding.
In just a few minutes a day, users begin to recognise works by artists such as Monet, Matisse, Van Gogh and many others, while also learning to place artworks within their historical context.
Artlingo was created with both curious beginners and experienced collectors in mind. The goal is simple: to make looking at art more intuitive, engaging and enjoyable.
As with collecting itself, developing an eye for art is something that grows gradually through exposure.
Artlingo is simply a new tool to help that process along.
Artlingo is now available to download on the App Store.
