1. Replying so I can find it again!

I have no clue but I have to know. :)

[CTyankee]

2. Hey, that's great! Take a guess at one or two...

[MuseRider]

8. I would if I had any idea

or anything I would even consider close! My knowledge of photography is very limited and as to who they are? Well I just do not know. Still interested though. I miss these threads. I think I will look back over your others to see what all has been posted that I missed.

Thank you for these threads. I think this is wonderful, a great way to educate and a fun way to learn!

[CTyankee]

9. Thank you for the encouragement! It's a fun thing.

I did one on "writers and their portraitists" that was a lot of fun for DUers.

This is hard, tho. So many of today's artists are well known photographically that it's not much of a challenge. These are indeed older artists. In fact, I think only one in this group is alive today...so that might have something to do with it...

7. Ditto. I am always clueless but love being educated. k&r

3. Your challenge might be in trouble! I saw a documentary on Google the other night,

and they are working on a way to scan a photo into Google's data base and get info that way.... :D

[CTyankee]

4. I'm sure of it. The way I figure, tho, is that DUers know a LOT about art anyway.

Because of that, my challenges are "always" in trouble!

[MuseRider]

11. Because I was not going to even hazard a guess

I used my Google Goggles on my Android. I got two of them to show the subject and one that was both the subject and the photographer. I was surprised that it did not get them all. Sadly one of them I did not even know who the person was. Off to research....I can't stand not knowing.

[CTyankee]

14. Just fyi, I google all these images before I use them. If they come up on an

"images" site I don't use them...I get them other places on the Internet, because I have enough of an art education to look other places...and I'm always learning!

[CrownPrinceBandar]

5. The top one looks like Marcel Marceau.....

clueless on the rest.

[CTyankee]

6. not Marceau but somewhat French...

[annabanana]

10. #4 is Giacometti. .but I don't know the photog.. . n/t

[CTyankee]

12. Did you see a clue? nt

[MuseRider]

13. I am so ashamed!

I have seen the work of one of these artists, even have a small relation (very very small you will know what I mean) with one of them and I did not recognize. Oh well, I know more now than I did before and that is a great thing! Thank you. :hi:

[CTyankee]

15. Oh, which one?

[MuseRider]

16. Sent a PM

don't want to spoil it for others.

[CTyankee]

17. #4 and # 6 have definite clues...that is a HINT...

[CTyankee]

18. And I think that only #2 is still alive!

Sad to say, but many of these are older...

Has anyone guessed # 3, the only woman?

[annabanana]

21. If you mean that

hand launching into the frame, well. . that was what did it...

[CTyankee]

22. Yes. I included it after looking at several other famous photographers' portraits

of Giacometti because I wanted the hint to be there...same with Brancusi (#6) that included his unique sculptural style...

[CTyankee]

19. #1, 2, and 3 still in doubt. Do you have a guess?

1. is someone who had a comic/tragic view.

2. He's still alive today...just had another GREAT success last spring!

3. Her portraitist got spurned!

[CTyankee]

20. kick for the later night crowd...

#2. April 1, 2010...France.
