This painting titled “Portrait of Pope Innocent X" was painted by...
- A.
Pablo Picasso
- B.
Diego Velazquez
- C.
Rembrandt
- D.
El Greco
Correct Answer
B. Diego VelazquezExplanation
Correct Answer: Diego Velazquez. Perhaps the preeminent Spanish artist of the seventeenth century, Velázquez was, from 1623 on, court painter to Philip IV in Madrid. In 1650 Velázquez was sent to Italy to buy paintings for one of his monarch's palaces; while in Rome the artist was commissioned to portray the Pope. The final version (now in the Galleria Doria, Rome) was preceded by several small sketches. Velázquez was given the unenviable task of depicting the most powerful and, according to contemporaries, the ugliest man in Rome. The artist was successful, for when the Pontiff saw the portrait he is said to have remarked, "troppo vero" (all too true!).Rate this question:

Mark Rothko
Correct Answer
C. Franz KlineExplanation
Answer: Franz Kline, Chief 1950
He was an American painter mainly associated with the Abstract Expressionist movement and the N.Y. School centered around New York in the 1940s and 1950s.
While generally his paintings are dynamic, there seems to also be references to Japanese calligraphy, although he always denied that connection. Bridges, tunnels, buildings, engines, railroads and other architectural and industrial icons are often suggested as imagery informing Kline's work. He grew up near a railroad and wanted to convey the shear velocity of the train in his painting.Rate this question:

Mark Rothko, in response to the immense reaction to his work (people would often cry in front of his paintings), began the design for The Rothko Chapel so people could go there to view his paintings in a church setting.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Answer: True. Mark Rothko began working on this Chapel but didn't see its completion because he committed suicide in 1970. He sliced his arms with a razor and overdosed on anti-depressants.
The Rothko Chapel is located in Houston, Texas and for Rothko, the Chapel was to be a destination, a place of pilgrimage far from the center of art in New York where seekers of Rothko’s newly "religious" artwork could journey. Initially, the Chapel, now non-denominational, was to be specifically Roman Catholic, and during the first three years of the project (1964–67) Rothko believed it would remain so although Rothko, born Marcus Rothkowitz was of the Jewish faith. Thus Rothko’s design of the building and the religious implications of the paintings were inspired by Roman Catholic art and architecture. Its octagonal shape is based on the Byzantine church of St. Maria Assunta, and the format of the triptychs is based on paintings of the Crucifixion.
Today, devoted followers of Rothko still visit the chapel daily, and in some cases, still cry in front of his paintngs!Rate this question:

- D.

- E.

Correct Answer
A. NeoclassicalExplanation
Answer: Neoclassical The "Oath of the Horatii" by Jacques-Louis David in1785. A style in European art and architecture from the mid 18th century until the end of the 19th century. Based as it was on the use of ancient Greek and Roman models and motifs, its development was greatly influenced by the excavations at Pompeii and Herculaneum, and by the theories of the German art historian Johann Joachim Winckelmann (1717-1768). Intellectually and politically it was closely linked to the Enlightenment's rejection of the aristocratic frivolity of Rococo, the style of the Ancien Régime. Among Neoclassicism's leading figures were the French painter Jacques-Louis David (1744-1825), the German painter Anton Raffael Mengs (1728-1729), and the Italian sculptor Antonio Canova (1757-1822).

- D.
Antoine Étex
Correct Answer
B. Théodore GéricaultExplanation
Answer: The Raft of the Medusa by Théodore Géricault 1818-19.
Completed when the artist was just 27, the work has become an icon of French Romanticism. It depicts a moment from the aftermath of the wreck of the French naval frigate Méduse, which ran aground off the coast of today's Mauritania on July 5, 1816. At least 147 people were set adrift on a hurriedly constructed raft; all but 15 died in the 13 days before their rescue, and those who survived endured starvation, dehydration, cannibalism and madness.

Correct Answer
A. Giorgio de ChiricoExplanation
Answer: Mystery and Melancholy of a Street by Giorgio de Chirico 1914
De Chirico was a pre-Surrealist painter who started a movement called Metaphysical art
His dream-like paintings of squares typical of idealized Italian cities, as well as apparently casual juxtapositions of objects, represented a visionary world which engaged most immediately with the unconscious mind, beyond physical reality, hence the name. The metaphysical movement provided significant impetus for the development of Dada and Surrealism.Rate this question:

True or False: When the title, "LHOOQ", is pronounced in French, the translation sounds like "She Has a Hot Ass"
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Answer: True! LHOOQ by Marcel Duchamp in 1919 - Dada
The name of the piece, L.H.O.O.Q., is a pun, since the letters when pronounced in French form the sentence "Elle a chaud au cul", which can be translated as "She has a hot ass”.
Primary responses to L.H.O.O.Q. interpreted its meaning as being an attack on the iconic Mona Lisa and traditional art, thus promoting the Dadaist ideals. Perhaps Duchamp decided to use his ready-mades to not only critique established art conventions, but to also force the audience to put aside what they had thought before and look at something with a completely different perspective.
This also supports the theory of Post Modern art, where nothing is original, but only a recontextualizing of the past. Having said that, Duchamp was about 75 years ahead of his time.

And whenever the king raised his glass, the others did the same, shouting out 'The king drinks!'

- D.
L.H.O.O.Q. by Marcel Duchamp 1919
Correct Answer
C. The Urinal (or Fountain) by Marcel Duchamp 1917Explanation
Marcel Duchamp's Urinal (or Fountain) of 1917 epitomized the question "what is art?"
In December 2004, Duchamp's Fountain was voted the most influential artwork of the 20th century by 500 selected British art world professionals. The Independent noted in a February 2008 article that with this single work, Duchamp invented conceptual art and "severed forever the traditional link between the artist's labour and the merit of the work".
Jerry Saltz wrote in The Village Voice in 2006:
Duchamp adamantly asserted that he wanted to "de-deify" the artist. The readymades provide a way around inflexible either-or aesthetic propositions. They represent a Copernican shift in art. Fountain is what's called an "acheropoietoi," [sic] an image not shaped by the hands of an artist. Fountain brings us into contact with an original that is still an original but that also exists in an altered philosophical and metaphysical state. It is a manifestation of the Kantian sublime: A work of art that transcends a form but that is also intelligible, an object that strikes down an idea while allowing it to spring up stronger.
The prices for replicas, editions, or works that have some ephemeral trace of Duchamp reached its peak with the purchase of one of the 1964 replicas of "Fountain" from the 1964 edition of eight, for $1.7 million at Sotheby's in November 1999.

Correct Answer
A. RococoExplanation
Answer: The style is Rococo and the painting is "The Swing" by Jean-Honoré Fragonard
A style of design, painting, and architecture dominating the 18th century, often considered the last stage of the Baroque. Developing in the Paris townhouses of the French aristocracy at the turn of the 18th century, Rococo was elegant and ornately decorative, its mood lighthearted and witry. Louis XV furniture, richly decorated with organic forms, is a typical product. Leading exponents of the Rococo sryle included the French painter Antoine Watteau (1684-1721) and Jean-Honoré Fragonard (1732-1806), and the German architect Johann Balthasar Neumann (1687-1753). Rococo gave way to Neo-classicism.

- B.
Henri Matisse
- C.
Salvador Dali
- D.
Paul Gauguin
Correct Answer
A. Vincent Van GoghExplanation
Answer: Vincent Van Gogh was a Preacher before becoming a painter.
His dream was to be a preacher and his father agreed to let him follow his religious calling and sent him to Amsterdam to study for the entrance examinations to the University Theology course which, after 15 months of study, he failed, finding the work too arid, preferring to contemplate the countryside and the possibility of drawing.
He later set off for Borinage, near Mons, in Belgium, to live among the miners and, being refused a teaching job at the school, settled in the village of Paturages where he taught the Bible and cared for the miners at his own expense. With his father's help he was eventually appointed lay preacher in Wasmes. His great charity at this time, his life often being compared to that of St Francis of Assisi, with such actions as giving up his bed to a poor person and sleeping on the floor, soon brought him into conflict with the established Church, which was outraged by his conduct and he was forced to resign!

More on the painting:
Caravagio had a way of bringing religion and peagan gods down to earth in a real world way. In this is a painting of the conversion of Saul from the bible, the drama is internalized within the mind of Saul. He lies on the ground stunned, his eyes closed as if dazzled by the brightness of God's light that streams down the white part of the skewbald horse, but that the light is heavenly is clear only to the believer, for Saul has no halo.
