Art for your desktop

Think of this program as an automated art museum. Using a 3D carousel, new paintings rotate in every 15 seconds.

In French, "décollage" roughly translates to "take off" or "to become unstuck". Our application queries the Internet to bring famous paintings to your desktop. Works from a number of prominent artists are retrieved online and displayed on your desktop.

This program is a stand-alone desktop application, but it can also be installed as a screensaver.
