Guess who painted this picture?

Post a picture and see who can guess the artist. You can give the name of the picture or not.

~terry Sun, Aug 16, 1998 (22:32) #1

OK, here's the first one. And even I don't know the answer!

~autumn Sun, Aug 16, 1998 (23:18) #2

Good one, Terry! I'll guess Dali, because he was so fixated on time/clocks, although she's got a real Botticellian thing going there, as well.

~terry Mon, Aug 17, 1998 (07:11) #3

The correct answer is Tamara White. See http://hera.eecs.berkeley.edu/~tamiw/

I was almost certain it was a Dali too, but the colours made me doubt - they were not quite him. Thanks, Terry!

Can you guess who painted this gorgeous painting? And the clues are: HE's a post-impressionist (early 1900's) Was known to his friends as the 'Japanese Nabi'.

Bonnard?

~wolf Mon, Aug 17, 1998 (17:59) #7

??

~autumn Mon, Aug 17, 1998 (18:27) #8

Make it multiple-choice, Riette.

~wolf Mon, Aug 17, 1998 (18:28) #9

indeed, then at least we'd have a chance *grin*

~KitchenManager Mon, Aug 17, 1998 (22:47) #10

I wouldn't...

~riette Tue, Aug 18, 1998 (01:43) #11

Okay, multiple choice. Is it Bonnard, is it Bonnard or is it Bonnard?

~wolf Tue, Aug 18, 1998 (09:09) #12

oh, oh, oh, i know, pick me....da vinci?

~riette Tue, Aug 18, 1998 (09:40) #13

You're wrong!!! Congratulations!!! You win an underwater hairdryer!

~wolf Tue, Aug 18, 1998 (12:01) #14

just what i need!!

~autumn Wed, Aug 19, 1998 (14:34) #15

I was going to say Bonnard, except I never heard of him.

~Renata Thu, Aug 20, 1998 (12:56) #16

Segantini? He was heavy on symbolism .... Ok, I think I'm wrong, but I thought I might as well try as not :-). Love the "Guess who painted..." game ;-D

~riette Thu, Aug 20, 1998 (15:32) #17

ha-ha!!! Now, guess who didn't paint this one:

~KitchenManager Thu, Aug 20, 1998 (16:32) #18

I don't remember doing it...

~autumn Thu, Aug 20, 1998 (18:35) #19

Roy Liechtenstein.

~patas Thu, Aug 20, 1998 (18:56) #20

Paul Gauguin. Next!

~wolf Thu, Aug 20, 1998 (21:52) #21

wasn't me!

~riette Fri, Aug 21, 1998 (02:17) #22

Wrong, Gi, Paul Gauguin DID paint it! ha-ha!!! �smacking your bum!!�

~patas Fri, Aug 21, 1998 (11:50) #23

Sorry, was I not supposed to guess then?

~riette Fri, Aug 21, 1998 (13:11) #24

Of course you were, but I get a little bit warped at times, and so his time I asked: who DIDN'T paint the picture?

~riette Fri, Aug 21, 1998 (13:13) #25

Do you ever get to Switzerland, Gi? If you do, look me up - we could paint together one afternoon!

~patas Sun, Aug 23, 1998 (04:02) #26

Hey, that sounds great! I love Switzerland - I learned my French at a summer school near Geneva, and once visited Zurich for a few hours between flights and have always wanted to go back, so maybe now I will. :-) One afternoon, however, may not be enough, I warn you...

~riette Sun, Aug 23, 1998 (06:57) #27

I'm always game for more!!! If you're willing to put up with the messiest workroom you've ever seen!!!

~riette Mon, Aug 24, 1998 (01:46) #28

Now, who DID paint this one?

~riette Fri, Aug 28, 1998 (14:58) #29

Now, how was I supposed to resist THIS one??! Oh, GLAD, GLAD DAY!! So, who is it by, people?

~terry Fri, Aug 28, 1998 (17:07) #30

That's obviously William Blake. Unmistakable. There's a man full of joy and exuberance.

~wolf Fri, Aug 28, 1998 (18:18) #31

he has no insecurities.

~riette Sat, Aug 29, 1998 (00:50) #32

Yep!! Horrible little painting though, isn't it?

~wolf Sat, Aug 29, 1998 (12:55) #33

maybe if i understood why this guy was standing stark naked in the middle of something that looks like hell or a cave....

~terry Sat, Aug 29, 1998 (17:07) #34

Cause his clothes hadn't come out of the dryer yet?

~wolf Sat, Aug 29, 1998 (19:29) #35

ok, i'll buy that.....

~riette Sun, Aug 30, 1998 (01:35) #36

If I were that humbly endowed, I'd at least wrap myself in a towel.

~wolf Sun, Aug 30, 1998 (14:54) #37

yes, but his towels are in the wash (or he left them all on the bathroom floor).

~autumn Sun, Aug 30, 1998 (15:54) #38

He is definitely in touch with his inner self.

~riette Mon, Aug 31, 1998 (01:22) #39

ha-ha!!!
