This lovely page grabbed my attention and held it until I scrolled the last text box to the top. The shifting focus across the displayed works was particularly effective, evoking a visit to a museum with a well-informed guide. I was reminded of pre-internet days, when it was hard for a small-town child to see art, so any available art book or magazine got trance-like attention. This webpage was a sort of time machine for me. In this and similar pages that marry method and message, the nytimes has demonstrated how to breath life into the web.
