Pop quiz

~ MaryG

Do you have a favorite place you have visited? Where is it?

A year ago this week we were wrapping up a bucket list trip to Paris. I loved it and posted many times about it, with lots of photos.

Below are four iconic works of art we saw there.

Just for fun:

Can you name the artist or title of each work without the help of Google or ChatGPT?

If you took Art History 101 and 102, you really should get 100%. If you weren’t a scarf-wearing liberal arts major in the 80s (like me), I think you should still be able to get a 50 or 75.

Good luck.

  2. Those are great pictures. I loved seeing all of those when I went to Paris as well. Definitely a bucket list kind of experience.

    1. The last one is a Vincent Van Gogh self-portrait. I love how he seemed to capture his own insanity closing in. I believe he cut off his own year shortly after this “selfie.”
      The famous ballerina “Little Dancer” is by Edgar Degas. #2 is an early Picasso. And #3 is the Venus de Milo – it’s in the Louvre – probably the most-visited sculpture in the Antiquities wing.

      1. Withn you saying the last art piece being Vincent Van Gogh. That will be why that one felt familar. I have probably seen that before when looking up Vincent Van Gogh art some years ago. But I had forgotten.

        I have looked up some Picasso art before. But not as much as one time looking up Vincent Van Gogh.

        I have heard of the “Little Dancer.” But I have not seen the art.

  4. Great pictures! So cool to cross it off your bucket list!

    I’m in the 50% camp. I’ve seen #1, but the name and artist escaped me. I had to look it up afterwards. #2 looks faintly familiar but I have no idea.
