Something by Marc Chagall
?
?
Not the Rokeby Venus, I think...
but Gabriele d'Estrees and one of her sisters (aka the 'Nipple Pinch'), painter unknown
Got another one...
After Delacroix it's Otto Dix's Portrait of the Journalist Sylvia von Harden.
Yes...
you're absolutely right.
first ? is a Picasso
I presume, but not sure which. 'Can't think, bugging me' is Olympia by Manet.
F...
uck! Of course!
the `Chagall
is La Mariee and the last two are (I think) Velasquez's Las Meninas and (presumably) Van Gogh's Sunflowers - not v convincing the last one though. Also haven't got the guitar player coupled with the Girl with the Pearl Ear-ring.
(awesome work earlier, Patrick - you got loads I didn't spot)
It can't be Van Gogh's 'Sunflowers', can it?
I was thinking that, but the other 'interpretations' are too good for the last one to be that crap.
The blue squared background is doing my head in... it's the visual signature of a famous artist and I can't for the life of me remember who it is.
Well done on Las Meninas, by the way. I was looking at that last week, so I am a dickhead for not getting it.
Deeply impressive
performance! Some of these aren't easy and I teach this stuff. I'll post the answers somewhere between 11 and 12 tonight but you're nearly there
I agree - not up to the standard of the rest
maybe that was a failed attempt? Same colour vase and background as this version,:
impasto brush strokes in background too. It doesn't match with any of Hockney's Sunflowers either. Not sure a French band would be that familiar with that aspect of DH's work either.
Chrome Yellow was used
Fugitive pigment - oxidises with exposure to air and darkens. So much of the original impact has been lost. Also lead based and toxic. Cadmium Yellow was a later innovation which replaced it and was safe and stable.
Ah
- according to someone beneath the YouTube clip of this, the artists we're missing are Holbein and Cimabue.
Cimabue...
is the one I said could be by one thousand artists. I now take that back!
...
and here's the song again this time accompanied by the paintings ... not entirely convinced - the Picasso one doesn't look like Dora Maar to me.
all great fun though - I like the song too.
Thanks so much for that OP...
I think I'm the only person so far to get the Manet.
Apart from the Impressionists (and their peers), I don't know much about art...apart from the ones that everyone knows.
I also got Vincent (self portrait with bandaged ear...twice). I got his Sunflowers too...though when it all fell apart, I thought they looked like bananas.
Great fun!!
Very clever video.
Shame they couldn't have applied the same degree of attention to learning to play their instruments.
