What’s the policy on using these images in blog posts or social media?

It's well explained in their terms and conditions page.

Material not in the public domain they allow noncommercial reuse with some caveats.

Thanks. Would be nice if the CC0 images could be found via https://search.creativecommons.org

This is probably one of the best things I've seen posted in HN. Art books, aside from the actual art, contain essays written by academics or experts not found in Wikipedia or similar. They're also printed in small amounts and fairly expensive (e.g. books on exhibitions are $50-70).

This kind of project opens up a lot of knowledge to the general public.

Now if we could get more Kenneth Clark books reprinted...
