Guess the Artist 4

[Artyczar]

He's not very known? You mean, he's not known like Picasso or Van Gogh, but he was known in his time and is in the MET!

 

[Enyaw]

yes ... exactly

Gabrielle Munter or her fellow German expressionist von Werefkin.

Edit: oh, you said "he." I'm gonna go with Kirchner.

Heh, I was so in the neighborhood on my first guess Does anyone know why? Here's a visual:

 

[Artyczar]

Yes! Very close.

I would have cheated on all of the Guess the Artist threads, if I had only thought of it!

Images are retained in my long-term memory where names evacuate like so much stuff.

 

[Donna T]

Thanks for this! I have so many new names to look up and paintings to admire.

Gabrielle Munter or her fellow German expressionist von Werefkin.

The painting that I added is of Marianne von Werefkin and Jawelensky, painted by Gabrielle Munter I came that close and just forgot that Werefkin and Jawelensky were an item for a long time. Never once considered Jawelensky as the painter of your mystery pic.

That one was a lotta fun, Arty!

Please tell me how you cheated; it will be useful information! I promise I will not report you to the Art Interpol.

How do you cheat?

You simply take the image into Google Image Search.

 

[Artyczar]

Cheaters! That's no fun!

 

[Terri]

Cheaters! That's no fun!

Well, you shouldn't offer such big prizes for the correct answer!

Oh, wait...

 

[snoball]

Cheaters! That's no fun!

So go ahead and beat me about the head and shoulders with a wet noodle! I didn't post the answer.

 

[Artyczar]

I'm sorry sno. I won't be beating you with that wet noodle, but the others are going to get it!
