Van Gogh, Hokusai, Klimt, Munch. Every painting on this board is in the public domain, which means it costs nothing. We just tell you which print, which frame and which bulb turn it into something worth looking at.
No inventory. No checkout. No gallerist looking at your shoes. We point, Amazon ships, everyone gets on with their night.
The Scream sold for $119.9 million. The image itself expired into the public domain decades ago. The same picture, at 24 × 36 inches on matte paper, is about eighteen dollars.
The difference between those two numbers is not the art. It's the room it hangs in, the light on it, and the story someone told you about who's allowed to own it.
So: drive up, take the masterpiece, it's free. We'll upsell you a frame like an honest business.
Every piece below is public domain — free to print, free to hang, free forever. The prices are for the paper and the wood. Tap any painting for the story, or order straight off the board.

A $17 print in a $32 frame with a 3-inch mat reads as expensive. A $200 print in a plastic clip frame does not. This is the whole secret.
One warm picture light. Hang the centre at 57 inches. That's the number every gallery on earth uses, and it's why their walls look right and yours doesn't.
The unglamorous half. This is what actually decides whether your wall looks collected or accidental.
The single biggest upgrade available to a cheap print. Nothing else comes close.
A three-inch mat is the difference between "poster" and "piece". Museums are not doing anything cleverer than this.
Light the art and the room reads as curated. Leave it unlit and it reads as furnished.
Crooked art is worse than no art. Centre line at 57 inches. Every gallery on earth uses that number.
Matching frames, mismatched art. That is the formula. Do not do it the other way around.
For the 2am decision to make your own. Statistically it goes badly. Occasionally it does not.
Big pictures, short entries, zero gatekeeping. The fastest way to find out what you actually like.
For the piece you want on a shelf instead of a wall, and for showing off, which is what art is for.
The gallery is closed. The afterparty is not. Put it beside something 500 years old.
The stuff actual museums use so nothing walks off a shelf. Two dollars of prevention against a broken frame.
For the prints you rotate instead of the prints you hang. Acid-free, or you are just slowly cooking them.
The 2am urge has to land somewhere. Better here than on the wall itself.
A gallery should feel less like a waiting room and more like the best booth in the city. Start with one piece. Let it get weird from there.
