The everyman’s art quiz! Even if you haven’t followed the last few years of my “Feel Art Again” series, you’ll most likely recognize some of these masterpieces. Let us know how you did!
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!
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.)
14/15 with a correct guess on the abstract (Jasper Johns just sounded right) and a wrong selection on Velazquez. I guess my wife’s Art 101 really paid off, although I wouldn’t have gotten “Daybreak” if not for “Feel Art Again.” Thank you.
14/15 I knew those lilies were by Van Gough but checked the wrong box. From the dates on the comments, I see this is the third time around for this quiz. Don’t think I’d have done nearly as well the previous 2 times as I did now. Going through the archives of “Feel Art Again” makes up for all the art classes I didn’t take in the Engineering college.
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*

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.

2 of them I wouldn’t have gotten without the multiple choice though.

In my defense, I just found this site this year. :)
