Do You Know Your MoMA? 09/10/2010

How well do you know your MoMA? If you think you can identify the artist and title of each of these works—all currently on view in the Museum’s fifth-floor Painting and Sculpture Galleries—please submit your answers by leaving a comment on this post. We’ll provide the answers—along with some information about each work—in two weeks (on Friday, September 24), along with the next Do You Know Your MoMA? challenge.

ANSWERS TO THE AUGUST 27 CHALLENGE:

Congratulations to Vivian, a Facebook commenter who was the first of several people to correctly identify all six works. I’ve definitely been easy on you by focusing on the fifth-floor Painting and Sculpture Galleries. Another easy one this time, but prepare yourselves for more difficult clues next time!

1. Henri Matisse. The Musketeer</a>. 1903</p>

2. Marc Chagall. I and the Village</a>. 1911</p>

3. Pablo Picasso Les Demoiselles d’Avignon</a>. Paris, June–July 1907</p>

4. Meret Oppenheim. Object</a>. Paris, 1936</p>
