Take The Famous (and Not So Famous) Art Quiz

Considering how bad I was at art history in high school, this must've been a remarkably easy quiz - and up until the last page with photographers/sculptors, I really did find it easy. AFAI can tell, I got only one wrong prior to that last page (Monet/Manet), and only one right on that last page. The creator of the quiz did pick paintings/artists with distinct styles, but also put the choices as people from the same time period and similar general styles of art, so it wasn't all no-brainers, but still not as difficult as it could have been. I'd've liked to see the answers next to the actual paintings at the end.

That's the best quiz I've taken in a while! I think I goofed the Marc Chagall one...I scored 97%. I wouldn't mind seeing a harder one too.

Yeah, that photographers were a little tougher. I know I lucked out with the Cindy Sherman one and the victory kiss.

73%, I know I made a few dumb mistakes, and a few of the paintings were from styles that I just never cared that much about. And I was pretty much helpless with the photographers. I still love museums, I grew up going to various museums throughout NYC and Philthy (and museums are always a top priority to visit in new cities).
The answers next to the paintings really would have been nice and a right/wrong listing as well. Listing the style of the painting would have been nice to.

100%. That was easy, especially because there were no repeats--and the vast majority were very well known works [even Van Gogh's Shoes are pretty famous]. Fun, but definitely could have been more challenging.
