No, the flower one was by O'Keefe. The one we haven't got is the one with the skull.

It's by Georges La Tour, done in 1598 I think. La Tour made all sorts of paintings with this candlelit, pensive theme. This one is freakin' amazing to see in person; it hangs at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.

She did? Oh, damn - my bad, Hasty Ent. It would seem that it is I who be the hasty one...

Well, here's another lovely painting to guess. Should't be too hard.

Paul Gauguin! Did I spell his name right; I get the uncomfortably embarrased feeling I spelled Gauguin wrong. It's gotta be Tahitian Women of some sort, I'd never remember an actual correct title.

Yep, you spelled it right. It's "femmes de tahiti"-- which translates to Tahitian Women.

Is it Breughel - oh yes, now I KNOW I spelled that name incorrectly. Bruegel? That painter - dutch, was he? or German. From the middle ages. O.K., I'll pass on this one...

Not Brueghel (who was Flemish-- don't want to make Earniel mad). It was a Dutch guy, though.
Just for interest, the reason I thought of Gauguin is because I'm taking a Polynesian dance class and we're studying Tahiti right now. |
