There are a number of large institutions who have opened access to their images and you may find what you need at one of them.
Getty Museum & Research Institute - http://search.getty.edu/gateway/landing
Yale University - http://discover.odai.yale.edu/ydc/
National Gallery of Art - https://images.nga.gov
Wikimedia Commons - http://commons.wikimedia.org
There is also the Google Art Project (https://www.google.com/culturalinstitute/project/art-project) and Europeana (http://europeana.eu). You’ll need to check on the copyright status from the individual museums before using these images though.
Hope this helps.

I am putting together a children's Saturday program about famous artists, specifically Pollock, munch, Van Gogh, Mondrian, and Picasso. I am looking for a good place to find open access photos of the artistes and their work to use in a handout and to hang on the wall at the event. Also if you know of a buy reasonable priced posters of art work that would great too. Any recommendations would be great!
Thanks,
