ANSWERS TO LAST WEEK’S CHALLENGE:

Well, I said I’d try to stump you last week, and stump you I did. Many of you were able to correctly identify the first two works, but the third proved to be the most challenging, and we don’t have a winner this week. Honorable mention to Candice White for identifying Constantin Brancusi as the artist, but alas, it is Young Bird, not Blond Negress, II, in the photo clue.

1 . Pablo Picasso. Girl Before a Mirror. March 1932

2. Frida Kahlo. Fulang-Chang and I. 1937 (assembled after 1939)

3. Constantin Brancusi. Young Bird. 1933
