Name That Artist
« on: March 25, 2009, 11:17:41 AM »
Let?s play "Name that Artist".   Here are the rules:

1.The image must be of a painting/sculpture/installation. Players must guess the name of the artist, not the work pictured.  Please, no extremely obscure artists like your grandma.
2. You can show off your cultured badassery by posting the name of the work as well,
but no points will be awarded for the name of the work and do not need to be included in the scoreboard.
3.  Please refrain from posting comic book artists or live action animators.  Though I believe they are as important as "fine" artists, with consideration of some of the scholars on this forum, this game would quickly turn into something that wasn't intended.
4. You may want to add additional pics and clues to further guessing along. There is no reduction in points due to extended posting.
5. Correct answers are worth 5 points.
6. Wait for confirmation from the person who posted the original image unless you are absolutely sure and can post reasonable proof. Then please do, so the game can continue.
7. Call for a proxy if you cannot post an image, however you should refrain from guessing if you do not intend to post a follow-up.
8. You cannot guess on proxies made for you.
9. Post and update the scoreboard and add the name to the list of already posted items.

***After your guess has been confirmed by the original poster, you will have 60 minutes to post a picture or ask for a proxy. Following that initial 60 minutes, any player is entitled to proxy for you. 2 points are awarded for a proxy.  ***
