Question 1 of 10
1. Perfecto! My replica, seen here, will never be caught as a fake. I shall head to the Museum of Modern Art in New York to take my prize.

Who created the original painting that I attempted to duplicate, as seen in the image?
Hint


Question 2 of 10
2. I don't mean to brag, but I created this copy of a famous painting with wonderful detail, including the melting clocks! I had better do so; it's my favorite painting.

While still in MoMA, I plan on swapping out this picture with whose famous painting?
Hint


Question 3 of 10
3. I have discovered that this famous painting has a much longer name than "Skull". My version will make a fine duplicate when I take the real "Ram's Head White Hollyhock and Little Hills".

Who painted the original, much better, version of the skull here?
Hint


Question 4 of 10
4. Soup. Need I say more? There are 32 total paintings in the soup collection, but the picture on the left is my only copy, so I'm only going to take one.

Who painted the original series?
Hint


Question 5 of 10
5. It looks like chicken scratch, but this painting, known as "Convergence", is pretty famous nonetheless. I am sure my version won't even be noticed.

Who painted "Convergence", which is much nicer than my random nonsense to the left?
Hint


Question 6 of 10
6. They say hands are some of the most difficult things to paint. But I think my artistic ability shines through to make a flawless replica of the original painting.

My version on the left will be replacing a portion of whose famous work?
Hint


Question 7 of 10
7. I travel to Venice to pull off the next heist. I must time it right, since such old paper-based works are not always on display.

The original ink on paper work was drawn by which artist?
Hint


Question 8 of 10
8. No no, this is not a picture of my mother. It is my copy of another artist's mother. It looks almost identical, in my opinion.

I've drawn my own version of which artist's painting?
Hint


Question 9 of 10
9. There are actually four versions of this painting, painted on cardboard. I plan on trading this with the painted version from 1893 at the National Gallery in Oslo.

Who painted this series, which is much more gorgeous than mine on the left?
Hint


Question 10 of 10
10. For my final heist, I head to the Art Institute of Chicago, where this oil painting on beaver board can be found. It's called "American Gothic", but I don't think anyone will notice my copy is a fake.

Who painted the actual "American Gothic", which is a lot nicer than the one on the left that I created?
Hint

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Perfecto! My replica, seen here, will never be caught as a fake. I shall head to the Museum of Modern Art in New York to take my prize. Who created the original painting that I attempted to duplicate, as seen in the image?

Answer: Van Gogh

My rendition of "The Starry Night" is flawless, I know. The original was painted by Vincent Van Gogh in 1889, during the day (the night scene was created from memory). The painting became part of the Lillie P. Bliss Bequest in 1941, at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.
2. I don't mean to brag, but I created this copy of a famous painting with wonderful detail, including the melting clocks! I had better do so; it's my favorite painting. While still in MoMA, I plan on swapping out this picture with whose famous painting?

Answer: Dali

As it turns out, my version of "Persistence of Memory" isn't quite as popular as the original. The iconic melting clocks were first painted by Salvador Dali, and if I wish to visit my favorite painting, I would have to visit the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.
3. I have discovered that this famous painting has a much longer name than "Skull". My version will make a fine duplicate when I take the real "Ram's Head White Hollyhock and Little Hills". Who painted the original, much better, version of the skull here?

Answer: O'Keeffe

If you think of skulls in New Mexico, Georgia O'Keeffe's "Ram's Head" may come to mind. The painting, found at the Brooklyn Museum, was painted in 1935. Thankfully, her painting is much nicer than mine.
4. Soup. Need I say more? There are 32 total paintings in the soup collection, but the picture on the left is my only copy, so I'm only going to take one. Who painted the original series?

Answer: Warhol

Andy Warhol painted 32 soup cans in 1962. His collection, called "Campbell's Soup Cans", can be found at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. There is a reason for there being 32 can paintings; at the time he painted them, there were 32 soup flavors, so each painting is a different kind of soup.
5. It looks like chicken scratch, but this painting, known as "Convergence", is pretty famous nonetheless. I am sure my version won't even be noticed. Who painted "Convergence", which is much nicer than my random nonsense to the left?

Answer: Pollock

"Convergence" was painted in 1952 by Jackson Pollock. The painting can only be appreciated when visiting it in person at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery; it is a massive canvas almost 8 feet tall and 13 feet long! In 1964, a puzzle was created of the painting (considered the most difficult puzzle of the time). Hundreds of thousands of sales proved the popularity of Pollock's painting.
6. They say hands are some of the most difficult things to paint. But I think my artistic ability shines through to make a flawless replica of the original painting. My version on the left will be replacing a portion of whose famous work?

Answer: Michelangelo

It may be difficult to obtain the real "Creation of Adam"; it is located on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel! It was painted by Michelangelo in around 1512, which was no easy task. Laying down on homemade scaffolding for hours and hours every day for months and months on end cannot be a luxurious job!
7. I travel to Venice to pull off the next heist. I must time it right, since such old paper-based works are not always on display. The original ink on paper work was drawn by which artist?

Answer: Leonardo

Around the year 1490, Leonardo da Vinci sketched the famous "Vitruvian Man". It is found at the Gallerie dell'Accademia in Venice, Italy. It isn't always on display; old paper is a lot more sensitive than canvas.
8. No no, this is not a picture of my mother. It is my copy of another artist's mother. It looks almost identical, in my opinion. I've drawn my own version of which artist's painting?

Answer: Whistler

James McNeill Whistler painted this painting, now located in Musee d'Orsay in Paris, in 1871. It is named "Arrangement in Grey and Black No. 1", though you may recognize it more readily as "Whistler's Mother". The painting is displayed in a frame that Whistler himself designed.
9. There are actually four versions of this painting, painted on cardboard. I plan on trading this with the painted version from 1893 at the National Gallery in Oslo. Who painted this series, which is much more gorgeous than mine on the left?

Answer: Munch

One of the most well-known works of the 19th century, and certainly Munch's most famous, "The Scream" was a series of four paintings created between 1893 and 1910. The National Gallery in Oslo, Norway holds one painted version, and the Munch Museum holds another painted version as well as a pastel version.

The fourth version, a pastel, was sold to Leon Black at auction in 2012 for over 100 million dollars.
10. For my final heist, I head to the Art Institute of Chicago, where this oil painting on beaver board can be found. It's called "American Gothic", but I don't think anyone will notice my copy is a fake. Who painted the actual "American Gothic", which is a lot nicer than the one on the left that I created?

Answer: Wood

"American Gothic" was painted by Grant Wood in 1930. It was inspired by a farmhouse now referred to as the American Gothic House. I had always thought that the couple in the picture were a farmer and his wife; but it seems it is actually the farmer's spinster daughter. The painting is housed at the Art Institute of Chicago.
