What painting are you

What Work of Art are You

Here's my answer:

What Work of Art are You
Your Result: Picasso's Dora Mar
 

You have had many brushes with greatness and are an artistic soul who has never been valued for your own work. Fiery with a French soul you make an indelible mark on those around you but never get the credit you deserve.

Egon Schiele's Agony
 
Friedrich's Wanderer
 
Dal'is Burning Giraffe
 
Titian's Venus and/or Adonis
 
Blue boy by Gainsborough
 
Degas' Dancer
 
Mary Cassatt's Young Mother Sewing

I made up this quiz, but there was no cue for the pictures, so I'll post the images below and after you take the quiz, you can guess which one matches the answer you got! How silly! (Also sorry about the typos there was no way to go back and edit the answers! ;-(

(Dali)

(Gainsborough)

(Friedrich)

(Degas)

(Schiele)

(Cassat)

(Titian - Venus and Adonis)

Schiele... But I don't think the description is *me*. The music I listen to - female vocalists from Jane Monheit to Nellie McCay to Susan Werner; Old-timey music, contemporary "folkies" such as Nanci Griffith, Iris DeMent, Lucinda Williams, Lyle Lovett; also love Randy Newman - whatever you'd call that mix wasn't one of the options. Also I don't watch TV...) But this is always what happens when I take one of these kinds of quizzes. I just don't "fit". And the other problem is that I'm a Gemini with schizophrenia... there are at least four of me, so the answers change depending on which one of me takes the quiz. ; )

Thank you, Steffi!

Wizard - You could do a lot worse than Schiele. Although he is known for the tortured artist image, he loved his wife and family dearly and begged them not to leave the house during the flu epidemic that claimed them. He died of the same flu himself three days later and was an amazingly gifted person! He didn't "fit" either and I could only choose 8 artists so there were a lot areas that got left out!! BTW, I'm Gemini too!

Schiele !?! That can't be right!

AfKaP said...

Min - Maybe my fondness for Schiele prejudices the test! Either that or there are a lot of sicko tortured souls out there! If Neroli gets Schiele I'll know I screwed up!

neroli said...

Darlin', you are most assuredly not screwed up if my getting Schiele is the criterion:
I got Cassat!
(almost fits into the chorus "I shot the sherriff," doesn't it?!?)

ChrisB said...

Well I'm Degas some of it might just be me but the questions didn't suit me !!

laurie said...

Nessa said...

What Work of Art are You
My Result: Mary Cassatt's Young Mother Sewing

"I am" crafty and kind, a person with great reserves of care for others. "I" worry about the weakand unprotected and know how to make do with little in order to give to those around "me"



(I hate to sew, by the way)

neroli said...

Hey, darlin'! How was the first day of classes?
Thinking of you :)

DirkStar said...

Titian's Venus and/or Adonis!

Yes!

A stud cake with a strong enough feminine side to make me kinky in the sack.

Maybe thats why my wife married me...

"You are crafty and kind, a person with great reserves of care for others. You worry about the weakand unprotected and know how to make do with little in order to give to those around you."

This doesn't make any sense... I'm a lot more like Napoleon in real life. Not a mother sewing. LOL

Tiggerlane said...

I wanted to be the Dali, so desperately! But I was the Picasso as well.

I must masquerade my eclectic nature quite well, b/c I'm more normal looking than the painting!

neroli said...

Corky, I knew I liked you!
*says a fellow Cassat*

AfKaP said...

Neroli, The Cassat seems good for you - It's not about what art you like, but what art has personality characteristics that speak about you.

Min - Schile seems exactly right!

Chris B- Degas seems good - hard working , attractive, devoted to an area of strength - I think its perfect!

Laurie - secret depths!

Swampy - very arty !

Pamela - You don't have to sew to be crafty and caring!

Dirk - Oh, I'll have to visit more often - a true hedonist!

Corky - I hate to tell you but the description is exactly right for Superman. I think it pegged you!

Tiggerlane - Yes but Dora Mar was gorgeous and the painting is a revealing of the eclecticism!

Neroli - OMG I'm exhausted!

I'm Mary Cassatt's Young Mother Sewing which means I'm crafty and kind, a person with great reserves of care for others. You worry about the weak and unprotected and know how to make do with little in order to give to those around you.

I'm happy with that.
