Art Quiz for you

[MissHoneychurch]

Do you know who painted this? And it is not allowed to google :)



If you know the answer, then it is your turn to ask

[Tuesday Afternoon]

1. I don't know who did it but, I think it is gorgeous. Even though it

depicts war.

[MissHoneychurch]

2. It's called "Lion Hunt"

that much I can say.

I bought a print of that picture some years ago at the National Museum in London. For some reason it captivates me. I just bought a nice frame and will put it up in my new place. In the old one I didn't have the space for it.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

3. I bet it looks awesome!! I would love to see a picture of it

hanging in your place. I bet everything is really starting to look very nice :)

[MissHoneychurch]

4. It will fit perfectly in my living room

since my colors are brown and beige too.

I don't have any pictures on my walls yet. Still waiting on my couch. Then everything will be perfect :)

[gatorboy]

5. The line work looks like Rembrandt

But I can't be sure. :shrug:

[MissHoneychurch]

7. No, it is not Rembrandt

Sorry.

[blueraven95]

6. It looks like a Rubens

maybe. sort of.


If I'm right, then those art history classes in college paid off. If I'm wrong, then they didn't.

[MissHoneychurch]

8. They paid off

Rubens is correct.

Now it is your turn :D

[blueraven95]

9. alright, here you go

this is probably my favorite painter of all time:




but, probably not my favorite painting by this person. :)

[SoxFan]

10. Got it with my second pick

I thought Cezanne at first, and it's not him.

[blueraven95]

11. nope, not him

:D

[SoxFan]

13. Interesting trivia about the artist

He was referenced in a very creepy Kinks song about a pedophile.

[blueraven95]

15. really?

I didn't know that. Very interesting.

[SoxFan]

21. "Art Lover", from the 1981 album "Give The People What They Want"

[blueraven95]

22. I'm going to go check it out.

:D

[mopinko]

12. degas?

don't have time to post if that is right, tho. i gotta go.

[mopinko]

16. ok, i have to go. i will throw one out there, anyway.

i think i am right, since phoebe guessed the same. this one is kind of cheating, but i will throw it out there for fun.
this is a sculpture. it's title is 'bound together'

[Inchworm]

18. hmm, cheating

nice work ;)

:thumbsup:

[MissHoneychurch]

19. Don't know many sculpturer

but it looks great.

[Sanity Claws]

20. Rodin?

Rodin is generally far more realistic but this looks like a study for a larger piece.

[Heidi]

24. My guess is that you are the sculptor of this piece.

And I love it. :)

[MissHoneychurch]

25. From what I learned by now

you are correct .... your turn :D

[Heidi]

28. Okay, this is an EASY one.

[MissHoneychurch]

31. I think I know it

but I can't think of the name for the world :crazy:

[Heidi]

34. I figured you'd know this one.

I think the artist may be more well known in Europe than the US. (I didn't know of this artist until I came to Europe, anyway.) :hi:

[Inchworm]

36. Tamara Gorska?

Russian emigrant?

This was a fun hunt :)

:hi:

[Heidi]

40. Ding, ding, ding! I think she's better known as Tamara de Lempicka,

but her birth name was Maria Gorski (I think). :*

Your turn!

[Inchworm]

No wai!

I'm having fun finding ya'lls with the hints given :)

Gimme a sec. I'll play.. I guess. I'll hunt a favorite :D

:silly:

[Inchworm]

51. Mine is probably easy for the well versed

:)

[WolverineDG]

69. William Blake

Sorry, I don't have anything for a question right now. :(

dg

[Inchworm]

70. Yay!

Prudence is a rich ugly old maid courted by incapacity

:D

[WolverineDG]

72. Tiger Tiger burning bright, in the forest of the night

Pretty good stuff from some nutter who used to sit on his front porch naked....

;)

dg

[Inchworm]

75. Woohoo! For real?!?

On his porch?!? nekkid!?!

I may be reincarnated!

:rofl:

[WolverineDG]

78. According to my English prof, yes

probably drinking beer too, although it was too early for six-packs....

:rofl:

dg

[Heidi]

71. You HAVE to, or the game stops!

:cry:

[WolverineDG]

[blueraven95]

17. yep, you are right!

congrats!

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

14. Degas? nt.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

32. Degas?

maybe

[old mark]

23. Looks like Leonardo - reminds me of

"Captain Of Infantry Marching To The Left."
Rubens! Nevermind....
mark

[Witchy_Dem]

94. My first guess was DaVinci as well.

[geardaddy]

26. Here's one.

[Heidi]

38. I have seen this artist's sketchbooks, so I will abstain.

Across the lake from us, there's a museum FILLED with this artist's work. :)

[geardaddy]

41. Cool!

I just learned about this artist on a trip to Europe a few years ago.

[Heidi]

45. Were you in Ascona,

southern Switzerland? This part of Ticino was a real haven for bohemian artists in the early 20th century. :hi:

[geardaddy]

50. No.

This was in Munich at Lenbach Haus. Excellent Kandinsky and this artists work, along with Klee.

[Heidi]

59. If you and your family ever find yourselves in Ascona,

I would love to escort you to the Museum of Modern Art there. The first time I saw a Klee there, my breath caught a little in my chest, and then I saw the sketchbooks (maybe 20 of them) from the artist whose work you posted. I have a huge fascination with artist's sketchbooks; I wish you could see them. :hi:

[geardaddy]

66. My g/f has taught me a lot about art.

I liked it, but never knew that much about it before I met her.

:hi:

[Heidi]

68. Ha! Then send _her_ to me!

She would LOVE Ascona! :hi:

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

42. Munch? nt.

[geardaddy]

49. You got the first three letters of the last name right.

:D

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

52. I was guessing Edvard Munch - painter of the scream

mostly based on how the background looked. I think that is the correct spelling of his name, so I must have the wrong artist. I can't think of another m-u-n

[geardaddy]

57. Münter

Gabrielle Münter

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gabriele_M%C3%BCnter

[Inchworm]

53. Munter?

From Germany?

:)

[geardaddy]

55. Ding! Ding! Ding!

Hot dog! We have a wiener! :D

[Inchworm]

56. I love this game!

I'm learning sooo much :D

:woohoo:

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

58. I actually thought it was a trick and was a Madeleine illustration

but I had no idea who the illustrator was.

[mopinko]

87. that was my first thought as well.

i think we had all the books and most of the videos. i loved them.

[Heidi]

60. Are you sure it's Munter and not Werefkin???????

I'm certain that's a Marianne Werefkin painting. :blush:

ETA: Title-- Herbst (Schule), 1909

[geardaddy]

61. You're right!

It was on a Münter site. My mistake :blush:

[Heidi]

63. The ONLY reason I knew this is because I've seen it.

I'm all arted out now. x(

(I love that you love art, though. There's not enough of that in the world. :) )

[Inchworm]

62. Debunked!

I couldn't find a pic of Herbst to verify before getting "the first 3 letter" hint :D

It seems she did a self-portriat that gets a lot of play.

:thumbsup:

[Heidi]

64. Take another turn, dear. I'm arted out,

and my debunking doesn't count because I've seen both the original Werefkin painting and her sketchbooks. :hug: :*

[Inchworm]

65. Noone guessed other, so here is another from same

:P



:*

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

89. William Blake?

[frogmarch]

29. To me, the lion attacking the rider resembles a satyr,

which makes the painting all the more interesting. (Poor lions, though.)

[MissHoneychurch]

30. One reason this pictures faszinates me

is because you don't expect Rubens to be the painter.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

33. In the bottom right hand corner...is that another Lion getting the

sword?

[MissHoneychurch]

35. He is being stabbed

in his mouth by the sword

[Tuesday Afternoon]

43. yes, thanks... That is what I thought. I love this. How big is your copy?

How big is the original?

[MissHoneychurch]

47. Here is something about the painting

http://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/collection/features/puzzling/rubens.htm

If I remember correctly it was quite big.

The print I got is 35x28cm (equals 13x11 inches)

[Tuesday Afternoon]

54. Thanks for the link

:hug:

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

44. Although the tip-off is the haunches on the horses - they are Ruebenesque. nt

[MissHoneychurch]

48. You got that right

:rofl:

[Sequoia]

37. Lenardo DeVinci

But I'm not asking anything right now.

[MissHoneychurch]

39. It is not Leonardo

but I love his art too

[Sequoia]

46. Yeah, I found that out pretty quickly.

[WolverineDG]

67. I'd say Da Vinci

Looks like some of his studies of horses (but I could be wrong & probably am).
on edit, yup I'm wrong. again. ;)
dg

[WolverineDG]

74. This might be an easy one

but I've always thought it was way super cool:



dg

[Inchworm]

76. The dude who did The Mona Lisa

the guy on the left has her eyes :D

Leonardo da Vinci?

:silly:

[WolverineDG]

80. No, sorry

Maybe they were related, but da Vinci didn't paint this. :)

dg

[WinkyDink]

77. Holbein?

[WolverineDG]

79. yup, The Ambassadors

Your turn! :)

dg

[WinkyDink]

83. :) I'll let the next one get solved first!

[mopinko]

81. ok, i was caught cheating. i will throw out one more, for real.

this is one for the midwesterners. should be a toughy.



after someone gets this, i will post a link to some better images. they wont let me link.

[WinkyDink]

82. The guy that did those late 60's "underground" comix. R. Crumb?

[mopinko]

84. not unclose

but wrong. part of that whole movement, i would say.
hint- this is a woman. kind of obscure, really, but someone will know, i think. locally well known.

[mopinko]

86. ok, here is a hint of sorts. maybe you know this guy

they each part of a very important chicago movement.

[mopinko]

93. now someone ought to have gotten this one. i mean, come on

the king of the chicago imagists, ed paschke

92. ok, i see i stumped ya.

no chicago art lovers, eh?

the painter is christina ramberg, who i am proud to say was my teacher and mentor.

http://www.renaissancesociety.org/site/Exhibitions/Intro.109.0.0.0.0.html

[kwassa]

98. Here is someone also from Chicago.

Your Ramberg reminded me of this artist.

[mopinko]

100. the late great roger brown.

definitely part of the movement. i see on the wiki that there is some fuzziness as to who was the hairy who, who was the nonplussed some, who was the monster roster, who were the imagists. not sure i have the definitive answer on that, except to say that the wiki is all wet. i believe roger was a member of the hairy who, as was ed paschke. christina was a member of the nonplussed some. all together, along with many more, they are the imagists.

a good link to the real deal is-http://www.artscope.net/VAREVIEWS/CHGOimagists.shtml

[SidneyCarton]

90. I'll give it a shot...

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

95. Hmm. Hamlet or Robinson Crusoe on Mars? I'm torn. nt

[SidneyCarton]

96. Otto Dix, a German artist who drew and painted his experiences in the trenches of WWI

Perhaps not the most disturbing art I've ever seen, but it comes close.

[mopinko]

97. it was really the horrors of WWI that

spawned many of the trends in modern art. the sight of so many disfigured vets on the streets of europe were a major force behind german expressionism. probably why hitler hated it so much. he saw himself, in all his ugliness, in it.

[kwassa]

99. a more modern form of expressionism

a very powerful painter
