Its whatserface Bonhuer...Arg, cant remember her first name...

Lotesse · 01-03-2006, 07:17 PM

Brownjenkins, of course you got the Winslow Homer! It's one of his famous ones, called 'Breezing Up,' from 1876. It's at the Nat'l Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. That Kienholz one - in one of my art history classes a while back, we briefly touched on Kienholz, and it would have been truly a miracle if I'd been able to recall that tidbit from my memory banks. But I DO remember Kienholz, now that I've been refreshed here! Thanx 4 that one; it was a good one.

Brownjenkins, you feel like giving us a painting to guess?

Pretty please!

Shah - here she is, it's Rosa Bonheur, and thanx 4 that one, too; I just learned about a new woman painter! I LOVE learning more about the women in art. I never knew about her. That horse painting is the bomb.

French, 1822-1899
The Horse Fair, ca. 1852
Oil on canvas, 10 1/2 x 25"
Elisabeth H. Gates Fund, 1927

That's her alright. Now, someone, POST! It is comanded! Whose turn is it?

Lotesse, if you show up anytime soon, you post one. You usually get some good ones that people can actually guess.

Here's a second one, a beautiful bronze 2 guess...

The Gaffer · 01-10-2006, 06:48 AM

Is the first one a Degas?

Lotesse · 01-10-2006, 08:40 PM

Ciao, Gaffer! No, not Degas, but he IS a French artist.

The Gaffer · 01-11-2006, 11:32 AM

Wotcha.

Hmmm. Toulouse Lautrec? He used to paint dancers in scud methinks (dirty sod)

Lotesse · 01-11-2006, 12:25 PM

Oui!! C'est vrai, Gaffer; I'm so glad someone guessed it. It's one of my favourite of Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec's -

The Toilette
1896; 67 x 54 cm;
Musée D'Orsay, Paris

The Gaffer · 01-11-2006, 12:35 PM

Hooray! I got one. Pure guess...

Here's one that sits above my fireplace (not the original, sadly)

Hasty Ent · 01-11-2006, 12:57 PM

mmmmm... one of my favorite painters of all time... in fact, just last Sunday my sister and I played a game: name your top 5 artists.... this one placed number 2, right after Motherwell

I'm playing coy and not naming yet, because I want to give others a chance... but GREAT pic, Gaffer!

Janny · 01-11-2006, 03:35 PM

Archie?

The Gaffer · 01-12-2006, 05:40 AM

Which one? Archie McPherson?? In any case, incorrect.

Also one of my top 5, Hasty. I saw this one in a shop window and just had to buy it. (well, a print of it).

Must check out Motherwell (which is a town in Scotland, and SPL soccer team, in my experience)

Janny · 01-12-2006, 05:12 PM

Well, I've received a PM and I'm informed I am pathetic with data and previous post should have read:

Angus?

The Gaffer · 01-13-2006, 04:21 AM

Nope: his last name sounds a bit like the bloke who played Mr Orange in Reservoir Dogs.

Lotesse · 01-13-2006, 01:09 PM

Mark ROTHKO!! *jumps up and down, all excited that she's finally guessed one.* I mean, it IS Rothko, right Gaffer?

Lotesse · 01-14-2006, 01:04 PM

The Gaffer · 01-15-2006, 08:02 AM

Spot on, Lotesse.

YIKES that's a big picture.

Lotesse · 01-16-2006, 01:19 AM

I know, huh! I love big pix!

Hey, is anyone else gonna put up a new one? Well, in the meantime, I'll post one - it's quite famous; surely someone will be able to guess it.
