National Gallery, Washington, DC, introduces Artle, daily art challenge

Using images from its huge collection, the NG has created an internet guessing game to rival Wordle. (I can't explain that – I've never played it.) Difference is, this is claimed to have some educational purpose.

Every day a different artist is featured; photographers are also included. Players have four tries, against a clock, at identifying an artist from his/her works.

The tricky thing is that the first artwork is either obscure or fairly unrepresentative of the work of that artist. But, progressively, the pictures/photographs move towards the better-known.

I have to admit that today's challenge defeated me utterly – I know nothing at all about U.S. photographers working in black and white – and when the eventual name appeared I didn't recognise it. I will certainly be giving it a go tomorrow, though.
