Sorry. I'll let someone else go ahead if they want to,

Oblomov

Apart from Red hare and myself, would ayone like to post??

Don't be shy, we need new blood...

Oblomov

Since " Name that art" appeared here in June 2014, its had 255 posts and .. this is the good part 19,774 looks.... nearly 20K....

All that's needed is... ONE brave onlooker to step forward and post any, the original wording on page one was "Nearly" any artwork

Bearing in mind that people of all ages browae... a modicum of sinsibility is needed.

A remote, a popular, your favourite, ...... remember, Artwork,,,,, not just paintings...

Ready, steady, Go.......... Please.

Don't have Photoshop... try GIMP 2.8 it's a freebie, and..does virtually everything the more expensive programs do.. and Easily.

Maybe one of you could do an idiots guide on how to set it up?

Rothko

Ok, I've made an attempt. I hope this works.

How to play "Name that Art!" - others please add to this/ edit it

Basically the purpose is to name the Artwork which has been posted in a disguised format.

If you guess correctly then it is your turn to post....

1) Find an Artwork
2) Disguise the Artwork using whatever means you find handy ( Microsoft paint, Sumo Paint, Gimp, photoshop). Remember at first you only want to reveal a little bit of the Artwork. Others may use reverse search engines to find the original artwork, such as Tineye or Google reverse search.

3) Upload your image to Boards.ie; There are many ways - this is how I do it ...


a) Go to Wthax.org
b) choose the image file and press the "do it" button
c) copy the code which is produced - BBC Code ( full)
d) paste the code into a post on Boards.ie


4) If after a few days the Artwork hasn't been correctly guessed - reveal a little bit more of the Artwork ,,, and so on until the artwork is guessed.

5) Verbal clues may be used along the way to help the people guess correctly

Red Hare, well said, bravo

New Home

Hi folks, can I please play too?

André Derain -The Turning Road

New Home

By the way, Wthax.org doesn't work for me, I can't access it...

Red Hare

Hi New Home. Its great to have someone new playing the game, but you will need first to guess correctly the name of the artwork posted yesterday by Suas11 - ( see above - post number 259).

So the idea is you guess the name of the artwork (and the Artists name) which is being hidden by the image of Paris. When you correctly guess then its your turn! Looking forward to having you around here.

Ps - it doesn't matter about wthax - whatever works for you.

New Home

Sorry Red Hare, I fixed it now... :embarrassed:

Correct. Well done

New Home

I like this thread, even if at first you don't know a piece of art, you look it up so you end up learning something new.

Should work

Well spotted New Home - I was full sure it was by Gauguin and I couldn't figure out why I couldn't locate the correct painting .

I was convinced it was Gauguin too, with those colours... but that's why I said 'Thank you, Internet!' Yes, it was probably cheating...

I'm using Mozilla, version 37.0.1 - I know there's a newer version but I haven't updated it yet.

Cneck under "options" that you set up for automatic update

Check that cookies are set to "allow"

Then try again. I've just tried Firefox and straight to, both as URL and thro Google

New Home

Thanks for all your help Oblomov, but it's still not working for me - I guess it might be firewall- or antivirus-related. I'll try all over again tomorrow, hopefully it'll work then.

[/QUOTE]

I reckon I can see some sort of Winged Figure behind the Max Ernst but I'm not able to nail it!

Any chance of revealing some more or a clue of some kind?

New Home

I'll give you a clue: it's a meeting of hearts and minds...

New Home

Ok, another bit of the image may help.

Oblomov

Hmmm Could it be....hmmmm

New Home

It should be easy, now...

Oblomov

Here we go

How about "Psyche Revived by Cupid’s Kiss"

By Antonio CANOVA (1757 – 1822)

It's in the louvre... Why did I not know that?????

New Home

Bingo, that's it. It's usually kept in the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, could it be in the Louvre on loan?

https://www.hermitagemuseum.org/wps/portal/hermitage/digital-collection/06.+Sculpture/56792/?lng=en

EDIT - I looked it up, Canova sculpted two of these, as you do... the first is now in the Louvre, and the second, slightly different version, is in the Hermitage Museum.

Oblomov

Well, I never knew that

LOL


Thank you, Red Hare

New Home

Your turn, Oblomov

I'm thinking it's the chap that wraps the outside of buildings and the inside of rooms using fabric, but a. I can't remember his name, and b. it's probably not him anyway...

For some reason, I'm also thinking 'Galway Arts Festival'

Lingua Franca

The Weather Project by Olafur Eliasson?

Oblomov

Most excellent...Yes, Indeed...

Watching everyone walking in and suddenly laying on the floor... LOL Would you walk into a gallery and suddenly lie down??

Fabulous effect, hugely popular..

Lingua Franca

OK, I'll get to work on my entry now.

Oblomov

at the Tate Modern, Turbine hall..

Lingua Franca

Hopefully this isn't too easy.

Oblomov

OOHHHH TTToooo Easy... the diagonal line.. gives it away.



The Ambassadors
1533, Hans Holbein the Younger

Oblomov

Lingua Franca, try again ... possible a less popular art work

Lingua Franca

Ok, if this one is also too easy I'll have to bow out, I don't know that much about art.

Oblomov

That's what this thread is very good for, learning, both from the submissions and from your own research..

Moew about making it a challenge. Good luck

Lingua Franca

No more guesses? I'm going on holiday for a few days now and will only be able to post and not update the image so here's the picture again and a clue: a huge secret was recently uncovered in this painting.

Red Hare

Enjoy your holiday Lingua Franca. Dont worry it often takes a week or two to get the correct answer. We'll be here when you come back.

View of Scheveningen Sands by Hendrick van Anthonissen



The beached whale in the painting was recently discovered after restoration.
This is the original below;



"It was always a bit of a puzzle what the people clustered on the sands, or peering down from the dunes, were actually looking at on a bleak stretch of windswept Dutch beach. The startling truth has just been revealed, after the conservator Shan Kuang took a delicate scalpel to a painting which has been in the collection of the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge for the past 140 years. "
( The Guardian)

Lingua Franca

Well done!

Red Hare

Not a very well known work by a very well known artist.
Matthew Barney is the covering image.

Red Hare

Accidentally - this one I've chosen is quite hard, the authorship of the artwork is somewhat in dispute - so here are some clues....

The artist whom I understand made this work has signed it - Artist A- I covered this up.

Online, this work is incorrectly attributed to another artist ( artist .

Both these artists A & B were friends. Artist A was British and Artist B was British/ Swiss.

The game is to find the name of the Artwork and also I'll accept with this either Artist's name - bonus points if you can get both.

Oblomov

Does that mean I get an extra stamp in my "Name that Art" bonus book??

Please say Yes
