Passing the 400 Mark!



Masters and Pupils
(see full images below)


Wow! You guys really snuck up on me this time. It was a pretty rapid climb from 350 to 400, and now that we have reached a new milestone, it's time for a new contest!

I've decided to try something different this time, although, to win, you will still be asked to identify several artists by their paintings. In the image above, there are 21 paintings divided into seven rows of three pictures each. The images in each row are connected by a common thread, which is that the three artists represented all studied with the same teacher. To win this contest, you need to be able to name all 21 artists listed, and the 7 teachers who each helped to shape their respective group.

As I have been discussing artists and their photo reference often lately, I have decided to bestow upon the winner of this contest a copy of Norman Rockwell: Behind the Camera. The book has been getting great reviews, and I hope the winner will like it (I have yet to purchase a copy for myself!). I will also add in a copy of the out-of-print Norman Rockwell: Illustrator by Arthur Guptill, which includes a nice section in the back, written by Rockwell himself, which discusses his palette and working methods.

Send your answers to matthew@innisfineart.com.

Best of Luck!
