Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. I shocked the art world with my painting 'Luncheon on the Grass' (Dejeuner sur l'herbe) in 1863. Who am I?

Answer: Manet

'Luncheon on the Grass' was exhibited at the Salon des Refuses, an exhibition held to show the many paintings rejected by the Salon in 1863. Manet's painting took a pastoral setting and inhabited it with modern people, the ladies underdressed or undressed. This was unheard of, the artists in France made their nudes Classical Figures not modern ones.

2. The Impressionists sought to create the illusion of forms bathed in light. Which artist carried this method the furthest?

Answer: Monet

Monet did several series of paintings of the same subject, from the same point of view, but at different times of day and various weather conditions, showing the passage of time, as seen by the movement of light over identical forms.

3. I used bright colors to portray the night world of Paris. Who am I?

Answer: Toulouse-Lautrec

Physical deformity made Toulouse-Lautrec an outcast: he was not welcomed by his aristocratic family or society. He became part of the night world of Paris, hanging out with entertainers, prostitutes and other social outcasts.

Answer: Morisot

10. Who painted 'Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte'?
