Kristine  Henshaw (kristilou) Monet?


message 3: by Dirk, Moderator (new)

Dirk Van | 4538 comments Sorry Kristine, Monet is wrong.
Remember: most pics I start with in this quiz, are not what the artist is famous for...

Quiet possible, but it is not Cezanne.

I've a feeling that this one is going to be a big surprise.

Dirk Van | 4538 comments When looking for less familiar (virtually unknown it turns out) works by this artist, I came across only a handful of landscapes.
Here's another one, maybe it will help, if you recognize the setting?

Kristine  Henshaw (kristilou) Italy of course. Modigliani!

Albin Winters | 109 comments Yes, I was, I think, one the few people who saw this movie, and thought Garcia did well!

Dirk Van | 4538 comments I think it never came out in Belgium. I didn't know it existed until I went looking for pics for this thread ;-)

Kristine  Henshaw (kristilou) I started to watch the movie "Modigliani" last night but had to bail. Paris holds a semi-sacred place in my imagination and I don't like to see it treated cavalierly. The movie was iffy from the start but when Modigliani dances in the streets of Paris to Edith Piaf singing "La Vie En Rose" I have to say NO! NO! NO!. Modigliani died in 1920. "La Vie En Rose" was written in 1945. There should be some obligation to at least nod at the truth when filming a biography of a famous person. Again and again I see Hollywood sleazily portraying our hero and heroines lives in order to tell a catchy story.
