Maybe use more obscure paintings from the respective Movement, since knowing the artist and seeing their Art already a 1000 times, can skrew your judgement of the piece.

It's okay, dunno how could it be improves, the only thing I could suggest is a larger sample base but that'll make the test too long.

Hmm yeah I was thinking about that. Wasn't sure where to draw the line between the painting being representative of the movement and using more obscure art. I'll try to get rid of the really famous ones.

problems with quizzes like this a lot of times is that it becomes half modern art simply because of the pluralism of styles in that time, and also because people tend to group earlier movements more together (just somewhat realistic old art); poussin is considered baroque simply because of the time, but he is anything but in essence. havent finished it but maybe give more less known regional representation.

>>4984253
Thats a terrible idea alrdy...

>>4984295
i will also add that a lot of times these modern works might seem very different because they tried very hard to be unique for the sake of being unique they are actually quite similar in world view.

>>4984253
none of them. art is for losers.

Surrealism is the peak of art and no one can tell me differently. Painting something realistic that is "wrong" in a meaningful and thought provoking way that strikes the viewer takes two skills.
One, the skill to paint something realistically enough to give the scene that level of believability.
Two, the creativity to dream up a scenario to depict which fits the criteria of having a surreal quality that sparks, or at least that is how I describe it. Not every surreal image "sparks," some are just lame and the concept behind them isn't all that interesting. When one sparks, like Magritte's empire of light I can stare at it for a long time and the concept is burned in my head. No other art movement can accomplish that with such intensity or frequency for me.

how about a quiz that sucks my cock

The pictures are too small, makes nearly all look bad.

I got
Rococo
Rococo is a movement in art that originated in France in the early 1700s. Rococo art characteristics consist of elaborate ornamentation and a light, sensuous style, including scroll work, foliage, and animal forms.

I have never heard anyone refer to poussin as a baroque painter - he was a textbook classicist.

>>4984253
This made me realize I hate art

whatever movement this is

though i think it transcended movements

>>4986305
some people use baroque as an era as well as style.
>Baroque art is characterized by great drama, rich, deep colour, and intense light and dark shadows, but the classicism of French Baroque painters like Poussin and Dutch genre painters such as Vermeer are also covered by the term, at least in English.
(of couse they mention his classicism)
even when they call them classicist, they add baroque as a description
>Poussin was... a painter of the classical French Baroque style.

Abstract Modern Art, but only because it makes you d/ic/klets seethe

>>4987199
This. Who's Afraid of Red Yellow and Blue made someone seethe so hard he put a massive gash in it. Thus confirming he was the one afraid of it

>>4989741
1 fear and anger are different
2 no one really cares about the bad art, only that it is being presented as something worthy by powerful institutions. it is the Fraud that angers

>>4989849
Fear leads to anger. It's in a museum, what powerful institution are you talking about? It's obviously not a fraud if it has impassioned someone so greatly

This quiz is shit, nothing from my favorite artists. It's mostly normie shit and if you only like one painting from the list, then they recommend the art movement associated with that painting even if you won't like others works from the same movement.

Coomerism, a movement that started with the patreon gold rush. Right now there are millions of aspiring coomer artists studying to be the next Sakimichan.

>fear leads to anger
reddit platitude. not all anger comes from fear. if i wrong you and you are angered as a result, that anger does not come from fear. not necessarily.
i called the act of presenting it as worthy as a lie, a fraud. nor is it restricted to this particular piece or museum. if someone says that a beginner drawing is great and try to convince someone, and this someone is angered by the lie, that does not make the art suddenly worth more.

saying that something is worthy or that it is even art simply because it incited a reaction is the laziest and emptiest and illogical defence of art.

>>4990144
In this case fear did lead to anger your example is not relevant in this case. What is "worthy" or a "lie" to you is completely subjective. The thing about modern art is you cannot tell if it was done in good or bad faith so there is really no objective argument you can make.

Something that inspires emotion has done its job weather you like it or not. What else can the purpose of art ever be but to inspire emotion? If we were talking about renaissance paintings you wouldn't be making this argument

>>4990181
A large % of people define art by stricter standards. Taking a shit and smearing it on a canvas would "inspire emotion", that doesn't make it art.

>>4990194
A large % of people thing Transformers directed by Michael Bay is good. Prove that a shit canvas is not art without appealing to the majority.

>>4990181
you are only assuming that it was fear that lead to the "seething" in the first place. you can say that it angered someone, but saying it has proven its lazy title by the act is an assumption into the attacker's emotion. even i will admit that i dont know the reason for the attack, but even then from having talked to many people who dislike modernist art, they dont actually care about the works, but rather believe that they are being told that the emperor has new clothes.

no one tries to or needs defend renaissance art on some flimsy argument like inciting a reaction (in the case of modern art, often a negative reaction) so yes we wouldnt have this argument. bad comparison.

What is the full list of art movements?

>>4984253
Needs more:
Ashcan
Hudson River
Naturalism
Realism
Impressionism
etc.

Get some American stuff in there, Some Russian stuff. Your selection is far too euro-centric and lacks the diversity of content to really learn folks some good shit

Pointilism is a meme
Van Gough is a meme
Abstract Expressionism is a CIA plant from the 60s
