Edit: just re-read issybird's original mail. Down to a three letter word only. Sorry

I made it a three-letter word to increase the possibilities. But that was very nice indeed!

When I was thinking about this last night, I realized that there are some pairs of letters that are very helpful, as with tt. I'll let this run a bit longer, then tote it up.

OK, here's the tally:

Daithi - 15 points
Sneaky - 14
Bilbo - 9
Bookpossum - 8
poohbear - 6*
orlok - 6*

*for fairness, as s to lengthen a word was against the terms

Daithi is ahead and thus gets to set the next question. Please don't hold it against me if I miscounted somewhere!

Here is something different, and if you know art it should be easy. There are ten paintings shown below. The first to tell us the artist gets 1 point per correct artists. The last images are sculptures and a bit harder. These two images are worth 5 points each.

Painting #1

Painting #2

Painting #3

Painting #4

Painting #5

Painting #6

Painting #7

Painting #8

Painting #9

Painting #10

Sculpture #1

Sculpture #2

I updated my list with Hopper before you posted, as I remembered who it was just after posting. Sorry about that

No problem, you were all over this one.. I was trying to move quickly!

Daithi · 03-02-2012, 03:54 PM

Paintings
1. Degas -- orlok
2. Gauguin -- orlok
3. Van Gogh -- orlok
4. Hopper -- orlok/Issy
5.
6. Monet -- orlok
7. Mucha -- Issy
8. Picasso -- orlok
9. Pollock -- orlok
10. Cassatt -- Issy

Sculptures
1. Hirst -- orlok
2.

As Issybird said, "Orlok was all over this one." He's clearly already won the challenge, but there are a couple open spots, Painting #5 and Sculpture #2. I'll give you a hint on the sculpture. It is done by a husband and wife team. I've seen their artwork in the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston -- very cool.

orlok · 03-02-2012, 03:57 PM

5. Manet?

Daithi · 03-02-2012, 04:09 PM

Manet is correct.

Daithi · 03-02-2012, 04:10 PM

The husband and wife sculptures are from England by the way.

orlok · 03-02-2012, 04:12 PM

Not so hot on sculptures, particularly the more modern artforms... Can't even think of a husband and wife team
