About Explainary
Explainary turns famous artworks into stories you can follow: the artist’s intention, the visual choices, and the historical pressure behind them.
Expect long reads that feel like a guided visit: clear sections, focused summaries, and cross-links that connect artworks, artists, and movements into a continuous path of discovery.
Editorial approach
I focus on works that shaped art history and continue to teach us how to look, and I plan to grow the site into other knowledge categories. Each analysis is written in direct language, with context and intention woven into the formal reading.
The goal is immersion: you should leave each page feeling like you understand the artwork from the inside out.
