Frequently asked questions
What does public domain mean here?
Public domain refers to works that are not protected by copyright or whose copyright has expired. Art4 uses artwork images published by museums, Wikimedia Commons, and other sources. Copyright rules vary by country and region, so check the source’s rights statements and terms before reusing an image.
Which artworks are included?
Art4 currently includes 3,804 works by artists such as Claude Monet, Vincent van Gogh, Johannes Vermeer, Gustav Klimt, and Katsushika Hokusai. Explore the collection for yourself with the 7-day free trial.
Which languages does Art4 support?
Art4 supports English and Japanese. We’ll add support for other languages based on demand.
Does Art4 work offline?
Once a work has been downloaded and applied, it stays as your wallpaper without a connection. You only need to be online when Art4 fetches something new.
Does Art4 collect usage data?
The website uses Google Analytics. The app also sends anonymous usage counts, such as launches and wallpaper changes, to help us improve features and reliability. They never include an account, a device identifier, or an artwork title. You can switch this off at any time under Settings › General › Privacy. See our privacy policy for details.
Why is it called Art4?
I hope Art4 becomes an app that brings something meaningful after “Art for ...” The 4 is simply a play on the word “for.”
