Here are the artists and titles of the paintings in this post, covering Ray's last week and Frank's the week before. I awarded 2 points for the artist and 2 points for the correct title in English or in the original language. Titles that were suitably close received partial credit.
1) Peaceable Kingdom - Edward Hicks
2) La Joconde or La Gioconda for 2 pts., Mona Lisa earned 1 - Leonardo da Vinci
3) Guernica - Pablo Picasso
4) Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte or Un dimanche après-midi à l'Ile de la Grande Jatte - Georges Seurat
5) Liberty Leading the People or La Liberté guidant le peuple - Eugène Delacroix
6) The Starry Night or its Dutch equivalent Sterrennacht - Vincent van Gogh
7) Composition in Red, Yellow and Blue - Piet Mondrian
8) Adele Bloch-Bauer I - Gustav Klimt; this painting sold at auction for $135 million in 2006, the highest price ever for a painting
9) The Scream - Edvard Munch
10) The Gross Clinic - Thomas Eakins, the painting all the fuss was about. Here's an interesting editorial from Arkansas kissing some Wal-Mart heiress ass. "Yee-haw, I done bought me some class!"
