Art Works Picture Quiz #2

Been waiting 17 years for all those art history classes to come in handy. Finally!

Did poorly, was confused by some. Great quiz nonetheless!

Where's the dogs playing poker?

I couldn't remember how to correctly spell "Gaugin" I kept spelling it "Gaughin". A little spelling leeway might be helpful.

"Gauguin," I mean.

As the great Myles na gCopaleen might have said, I looked back on this puzzle "more in Seurat than in Ingres."

Had no idea about the other David statue, but from the date I just started guessing turtles.

Really really stingey on the spelling of Donatello. Get a life.

Just an interesting note that there’s some discussion on whether the fountain was actually made by duchamp! It was submitted anonymously (because it was quite controversial for obvious reasons) and duchamp took credit after and began making readymades in that style, but he wrote a private letter where he said a female friend of his sent it in under a pseudonym (the chance of a woman’s submission being accepted being quite low), and his stories from later in his life on where he got the urinal don’t add up.

There’s decent circumstantial evidence for two women in the New York dada scene: the Baroness Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven and poet Louise Norton. I personally find the Baroness account the most credible: she had been producing readymade art pieces for years before the Fountain.

The wikipedia page of Fountain has a decent write up and cites the academic articles that make the case.
