Woo-hoo, I got 100% ! I guess this IS really the art quiz for everyman (or woman, as the case may be). Thanks, andréa, for helping me feel art again! (Yeah, I even feel smart again.)
[PS The recaptcha is "THIRD severn," and I live right near the Severn River.]

12 out of 15…which surprised me. The first ones were ‘easy’ but I was guessing for some of the last ones. I’m not exactly an art connoisseur.

10 of 15. Guessed at a few of course. I’m not at all familiar with American or English artists though.

11 out of 15 – not as good as I would have liked and two of them were alternated – *sigh*

100% – of course I am a Humanities major…

87%, guess it helps that my future wife is an art teacher and makes me take her to the local art museums. We here in Ohio are lucky to have some great museums with rich collections of fine art!

100%, really enjoyed art history in college.

12 of 15, YAY! I’m not HUGE into art and made a couple educated guesses :)
Umm..FYI tho, Georges Seurat’s name is misspelled in the quiz. That piece happens to be my favorite all time piece of art.

Bethy: While Seurat’s full French name is Georges-Pierre Seurat, he is often referred to in English as just George Seurat. (I also used the English versions of the titles of the artwork.)

100%. One process of elimination 50-50 shot.

100% Yay!
2 of them I wouldn’t have gotten without the multiple choice though.

100%!
I still have it, years and years after I was a librarian in the Art and Music Department at Jacksonville (Florida) Public Library!
Yes!
