To the Victor Goes the Spoils!


Congratulations to Victor Chong of California for correctly identifying the twelve artists depicted in the most recent contest on Underpaintings. Not only did Victor discern each artist correctly and name them in order, but he went above and beyond by also naming each title including the year in which they were painted. Great job, Victor! I hope you enjoy the book!

Kenyon Cox, Augustus Saint-Gaudens, 1908


Edmund Charles Tarbell, Reverie (Katharine Finn), 1913


Joseph Rodefer de Camp, The Blue Cup, 1909


John Singer Sargent, Portrait of Carolus Duran, 1879


William McGregor Paxton, Tea Leaves, 1909


Jules Bastien-Lepage, The Communicant, 1875


Thomas Cooper Gotch, Death the Bride, 1894-95

You do know that there are very good picture searchers out there that can find a picture with only part of the image....there is a good one that searches on Flickr called Viewfinder. And if i am correct...it has alogrithms that even with only a fragment of the image can pin them down with accuracy.
Either way...it is one way to find that elusive image...

Love the site...love the site....would love a feature on artist DVD's the good , the bad, the ugly. Some from my experience offer very little and some are truly great. Considering their expense...it is going to be interesting to see how long DVDs last versus streaming.

Thank you Matthew for Pascal-Adolphe-Jean Dagnan-Bouveret, A Woman from Bern, Switzerland, 1887! It was great to research him.
