And if I had thought of them, I would have also tried: Jim Braltar, Den Mark, Sir Bia and S. Tonia.
- Mondriaan should be accepted.
- Vermeer's first name is Johannes.
- surname prefixes in Dutch are never capitalized: Vincent van Gogh. The only exception is when you write 'mister/mrs./miss Van Gogh'.
Great quiz otherwise!
Why, for God's sake, do people think in Frida Kahlo as the maximum exponent of Mexican art? It's beyond me that someone can think of her as a good painter, let alone a great one.
I mean, Diego Rivera, who many people only know as "Frida's hubby", not only was a much much much better painter that her, he often finished her paintings! Many of Frida's best known paintings were actually finished and "beautified" (for a lack of a better word) by Diego! And he doesn't get the credit and respect he's due!
