Name That Art

jesse pinkman · 2014-06-11 13:41:02

Hiding beneath a cover image (which can be nearly anything) is a famous artwork, the goal is to correctly identify the name of the artwork & artist, get it correct then camouflage the next piece of art (using Photoshop, MS Paint or whatever image editing program you're into). Deface the art image in any way necessary to…

I've just googled her - I had never heard of her before. There were such few women artists at that time.

Snap, Red Hare... The internet is our friend in these things, it seems.

Embarrassing fact: I feel sorry for both the kitty, getting its tail pulled like that, and for the eel too. I also doubt the kid would have been able to get such a good grip on that eel, they're insanely slippery... I probably need professional help.

Aaanyway, this is my 'offering' for the day.

I posted that as an edit here... Judith Leyster

And by the way, if those two had been my kids, they'd have been soooooo grounded.

All the comments are an accolafe to the artiste... If she encourages that sort of feelings, it a Mistress peice.

The cover image is the Francis Bacon Studio.

The artwork is a bit of a conundrum - it's an engraving by Artist A ( not well known) based/inspired by a sketch from Artist B ( very well known). However A's publisher decided to put the signature of Artist C ( very well known) on the plate.

So now if you do a google image search you will probably get Artist C and if you do a google web-search you will get Artist B.... but really whats needed is to find the name of the Art and hopefully Artist A - who made it!

What I'd like to know is, how did you manage to get hold of a picture of my room when I was a teenager???

(That photo is my excuse for telling everyone I have an artistic personality...)

This guy... lots of famous tritypch, but also into the occult... nightmare settings, given the period a very modern sexual imagery....

Dali may have been influenced.... Possible?

Staying with the drawing, black and white and this is a cropped version....

The artist who painted the image below is a saint (its true). There are not many artists who are saints.

To continue the theme the cover image is by Hieronymus Bosch.

You're correct so far Oblomov.

The painting is of a well known religious theme - very early part of the new testament!
