Don't know who painted this one but I like it.
I would also love further discussion about any of these pieces. Do you like them? Why or why not? Have our discussions opened your eyes at all? Why or why not?
Art Appreciation/Education ping.
Maybe you can have fun with this.
Here are my guesses: 1. Edw. Manet, 2. De Goya, 5. Monet, 6. Renior, 7 Cezanne, 8. Van Gogh, 9. Gaugain, 10. Picasso, 11. Chagall, 12. Picasso, 15. Piro, 16. Dali and 18 O'Keefe.
The first one's a Manet (but why is the second lady painted so differently from the first? Her face is as flat as a piece of paper).
5. is a Monet, but it's so well known it's almost cheating.
6. Renoir. That face! That hair!
7. Cezanne.
8. Vincent, with ear.
9. & 10. Matisse - but you showed us these before.
11. Beats me. Kandinsky?
12. Picasso, I think.
13. I'm a philistine, but it could be anybody.
14. Magritte? Not really otherworldly enough.
15. Miro. I like Miro for some reason.
16. Dali. I REALLY like Dali. Always have.
17. I do not care. I find this sort of "art" truly revolting.
18. O'Keefe. Gorgeous.
19. must be the "industrial realist" artist you mentioned in your last class . . . who painted the River Rouge auto plant . . . can't remember his name but I like his work.

2) I'll guess Goya, since these ladies appear to be Spanish
3) I feel I really should know this, but I don't
5) Monet
7) Cezanne
8) Van Gogh
(9&10) Matisse
11) Kandinsky - I do like him a lot, but not this particular painting
12) Picasso
15) Miro
16) Maxfield Parrish came to mind first, but I'll say Dali
18) Georgia O'Keefe
That's it for me.

I honestly don't remember if we chose our own groups or if we were assigned; however, I ended up with a womyn's study student and a female phys-ed major...our choice of moral issue was of course, porn. I volunteered to take care of the research, which I diligently conducted, and after going through some blatantly heinous stuff, some of the stuff done by more technically competent and artsy photogs (i.e. guccione), some racier art exhibits, and some older sculpture and traditional painting I put together a longish collection of photos and presented them to the class as a test where each image had to be identified as "Art or Porn." The members of the class went through and after taking the test, I merely had a show of hands as to who selected what. I barely needed to say a single word in my entire portion of the presentation as with a few exceptions, the majority of images could not be neatly pigeonholed into one or the other category. I was lauded for having elicited such strong class participation, even from some students who hardly ever opined on anything. Our best conclusion is that the separation between art and porn is a less than quantifiable or definable synthesis of context, subject matter, and indeed, the viewer's role (not necessarily reaction or opinion).
I dare not post it here for fear of being banned...;-)
