	For helping me get "Sunday Afternoon", I'd like to thank the timeless classic "Ferris Bueller's Day Off".

	I once again shame myself with my lack of art-knowledge...

	silver1881:	Aug 25th, 2009 at 04:24 GMT	10 points
	Perhaps The Thinker should also accept "Penseur"?

	JohnJF:	Aug 25th, 2009 at 04:24 GMT	13 points
	I was really, really hoping to see "Crazy Stairs."

	I knew going to art school would finally pay off! I'm not sure what the exchange rate with real currency is, but in sporcle points I'm sure I could buy myself lunch!

	Nuclear_Knuckles:	Aug 25th, 2009 at 04:25 GMT	18 points
	I immediately recognized the Seurat, and I've seen Ferris Bueller many a time, but none of that helped me remember the damn title. (I knew it was a Sunday...)

	PopdCulture:	Aug 25th, 2009 at 04:25 GMT	11 points
	At least no Jackson Pollocks came up!

	rockgolf:	Aug 25th, 2009 at 04:26 GMT	10 points
	@PopdCulture: Yeah, well if you're getting lunch, don't go to that place in Nighthawks. The food arrives so late, you could be dead!

	Is it just me, or does the guy holding the pitchfork look a lot like Larry David?

	Unidentifiedkiwi:	Aug 25th, 2009 at 04:29 GMT	27 points
	I recognized so many of these, yet had no idea what the names were. Perhaps I should appreciate fine art more.

	PopdCulture:	Aug 25th, 2009 at 04:31 GMT	7 points
	@rockgolf I'll make sure to avoid that place then. Apparently 'Nighthawks' was the inspiration behind the production design for Blade Runner.

	I have seen every single one of these works at one point, but, couldn't remember their names. Some of them are in the art museum near me too >.

	Jordan117:	Aug 25th, 2009 at 04:36 GMT	45 points
	I'm amused by the fact that the most "obvious" answer is also the least-known one.

	PopdCulture:	Aug 25th, 2009 at 04:38 GMT	10 points
	My summer job consisted of this! Teaching kids about art and then making crafts related to the lecture. I brought up a lot of these artists and art forms. It was great! What I did leave out though was the prostitution, the politics and the game Pin the ear on Van Gogh.

	hmm gummy venus de milo. thank you simpsons.

	Thalia:	Aug 25th, 2009 at 04:44 GMT	16 points
	I've always heard it called "La Pieta"... I know it just means "the" but I was super frustrated when I typed that in and it didn't work.

	ElDavo:	Aug 25th, 2009 at 04:44 GMT	1 point
	After one art class in high school I have literally seen every one of these. I named 5 correctly...

	gracie:	Aug 25th, 2009 at 04:45 GMT	7 points
	i knew so many of the artists, but couldn't remember the names of the works. there's just too many words in that seurat - all i could remember was "afternoon on la grande jatte."

	Jordan117:	Aug 25th, 2009 at 04:46 GMT	-2 points
	Also, I'd suggest allowing some alternate answers for the Monet one, as he had several similar-looking paintings with similar names, including "Bridge Over a Pond of Water Lilies", two different "Waterlily Ponds", and a whopping EIGHT "Water Lilies". (I put in "Waterlily Pond", myself).

	I knew being an art history minor in college would pay off someday!

	xeju:	Aug 25th, 2009 at 04:58 GMT	-2 points
	Really cool quiz - only got 10/20 though. I don't know why it was necessary to include da Vinci and Michelangelo twice though.

	julia:	Aug 25th, 2009 at 05:01 GMT	5 points
	Raft of the Medusa is one of my favorites, and the story behind it is so fascinating. Loved this quiz!

	alexhaz64:	Aug 25th, 2009 at 05:06 GMT	2 points
	I got at least two of these thanks to spanish class... funny how that works out.

	FilmJunkie:	Aug 25th, 2009 at 05:07 GMT	-3 points
	I kind of feel Milo's Venus should count. Or maybe Venus.

	witulski:	Aug 25th, 2009 at 05:15 GMT	31 points
	"Nike of Samothrace" should count. That's how I learned it in college art history classes.

	Tapestry:	Aug 25th, 2009 at 05:19 GMT	-2 points
	wow 9, and one I should have gotten, darn it!

	Guinevere:	Aug 25th, 2009 at 05:27 GMT	5 points
	I did decently (13/20) but still feel frustrated over the ones where I KNEW the painting but just couldn't think of the name (the Klimt and the Magritte). The Picasso I recognized as a Picasso by the style, but I'd never seen it before so it didn't bother me not to be able to come up with the title. Fun little quiz.

	wolv82:	Aug 25th, 2009 at 05:30 GMT	12 points
	I typed in 'Saturday in the park' and then realized that was Chicago not Seurat..... darn

	ulashima:	Aug 25th, 2009 at 06:29 GMT	-3 points
	Entering "the thinking man" for "the thinker (literal translation of the Turkish name for that work), "Lilies" for "Water lilies", "Venus", "Venus of Milo" and "Milo's Venus" for the "Venus de Milo" all the time. And about the picture that was shown on the movie "Bean", I was like "That was somebody's mom...but whose?"

	RandallPinkston:	Aug 25th, 2009 at 06:35 GMT	1 point
	@wolv82: Considering that the Seurat is one of the most famous works hanging in the Art Institute of Chicago, I wonder if the song is at all inspired by the painting.

	zalagreensbury:	Aug 25th, 2009 at 06:54 GMT	4 points
	Gustav Klimt is my favorite artist of all time, I have a portrait of 'Love' in my bedroom...he was an erotic mastermind imo.

	poli:	Aug 25th, 2009 at 07:01 GMT	2 points
	Yay! Great quiz!

	mstangman7:	Aug 25th, 2009 at 07:02 GMT	0 points
	for the Sunday afternoon i literally drew out the painting on a 3 foot by 4 foot piece of paper and did all the pointillism involved in recreating the art back in a high school art history class and despite that i still couldn't remember the name of the painting.

	maniacalclown:	Aug 25th, 2009 at 07:08 GMT	18 points
	The Art Institute of Chicago lists the Seurat work as "A Sunday on La Grande Jatte" so I submit that as an alternate answer. The painting is located there so I think they should have a say in the matter. :)

	gttrsnp:	Aug 25th, 2009 at 07:20 GMT	8 points
	I'll admit, I only know the "Venus de Milo" in Gummi form.

	KyleB:	Aug 25th, 2009 at 07:25 GMT	1 point
	My apologies to Gericault, Matisse, and whoever sculpted 'Winged Victory'. Still, it's a great concept for a quiz.

	juviejay:	Aug 25th, 2009 at 07:32 GMT	41 points
	Where the hell is "Dogs Playing Poker"?

	pdu:	Aug 25th, 2009 at 08:48 GMT	1 point
	Ouch. I have seen all of them before and new most artists, but guessing the name really got me there, even more so because I'm not familiar with the English titles. You should really accept titles in their original tongue (like "Skrik" for the first one).
