hubby figured out the art question which will be on tonight's "Jeopardy." I didn't...

[CTyankee]

Won't be a spoiler but it has to do with a glass window in American art. I had the wrong window and the wrong artist.

Welp...

[Sanity Claws]

1. Tiffany did a lot of glass windows

so without knowing anything else, I would go for that.

If they gave some facts about geometric shapes, I'd guess Wright.

Spoil the surprise for me by sending me a personal message. I won't be able to catch Jeopardy tonight.

[CTyankee]

2. Will do. I really "overthought" the question.

[MineralMan]

4. Chagall did a very famous one.

I believe it's at the Chicago Art Institute Museum.

[CTyankee]

6. This Chagall work is one of my favorites.

However, the question is about an American work.

[MineralMan]

8. Mine, too.

I stood for a very long time in front of it on my last visit to the museum.

[CTyankee]

10. Marvelous acquisition by that art museum!

What a treasure!

[Sanity Claws]

16. I got your message

Sounds like I misunderstood your opening post. I thought you were talking about artistic windows, like stained glass windows, not windows in an oil painting.

[CTyankee]

18. I can see how my op could make anyone think that. My bad.

[appalachiablue]

29. I also thought it was about artistic windows and guessed FL Wright.

The widely known work of Thomas Hart Benton and Rockwell fit the Americana theme and time too.

Then I saw the Clue below which def leads to the most likely and popular Grant Wood 'American Gothic.'

Fun stuff! More art posts please when you can.

[CatMor]

3. How did you already see Jeopardy?

[CTyankee]

7. I didn't. The Jeopardy question is printed in the daily Art section of the NYT.

So hubby and I put in our guesses and then watch Jeopardy that night. It's fun comparing our answers. Sorry, I should have added that to my op.

[CatMor]

15. Thank you

It sounds like fun. I'm a avid Jeopardy watcher.

[Orrex]

5. Steamy Windows by Tina Turner?

[Donkees]

9. Link: ''CLUE OF THE DAY''

https://www.jeopardy.com/games/new-york-times-clue-of-the-day

PERHAPS BOUGHT FROM A SEARS CATALOG, A WINDOW FOR AN 1880s FARMHOUSE INSPIRED THE NAME OF THIS 1930 PAINTING

[CTyankee]

11. Oh, dear. I didn't want to post that. It makes my thread a spoiler, which I didn't want to do.

I feel embarrassed.

[Brother Buzz]

14. It's not really a spoiler.

Although some of us prefer to know just the category before the show airs, nevertheless it gives us Jeopardy! enthusiasts something to chew on.

Curious, were you thinking Andrew Wyeth?

[CTyankee]

17. Yes. Do you know the work I am thinking of?

and sorry, I realize it's not a spoiler...

[Brother Buzz]

19. LOL, Wyeth did a LOT of windows

But if I was to take a stab, I'd guess, "Wind from the Sea"

I was initially flashed on "Christina's World", but the windows are pretty insignificant.

[CTyankee]

20. Yes. Wyeth is not an artist I have concentrated on...

I have done essays on American artists such as Sargent, Hopper, Bellows, Warhol, Twombly, and Rockwell. I was going to do one on James MacNeil Whistler. I had it all written and was going to post it here but my memory of how I posted the images went bad on me...I truly forgot how I did it. I had to save the image to another of my files and do and upload/download procedure for each image. It was tricky and I gave up...

[Brother Buzz]

22. I'm from the California, so my interests lie there

Hove you studied Thaddeus Welch or Grace Hudson?

[CTyankee]

23. no, but I'd love to find out more!

Hey, this might be my next project! I'm getting my book on various artists ranging from the 13th to the 20th century (first published on DU) published in the spring. I was wondering what I would research/write on next. Thank you for the tip on Welch and Hudson.

Tell me what you think of them...

[Brother Buzz]

24. Grace Hudson was a Renaissance Woman

There are a slew of extensive biographies on her, all extraordinary reads. I guess Wikipedia is a good start:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grace_Hudson

Thaddeus Welch is a little more personal; he grew up in Oregon, but summered in my Podunk town in the Sacramento Valley. He, and his deaf and dumb cousin (from my town) studied art in Europe together. I have the only known surviving painting done by his cousin, and have been trying to weasel a Thaddeus Welch painting from MY cousin so I can hang them side by side.

Putting my quest aside, Thaddeus Welch was the quintessential Bohemian artist. That, and I can identify his work from thirty feet away (I did it at the Oakland art museum!).

[CTyankee]

25. I had a chance to look briefly at both artists works just now...

interesting juxtaposition of her art portraying Native Americans and Welch which is so reminiscent of the Hudson River school of Albert Bierstadt. I am touched by Grace Hudson's little children, many swaddled so tenderly.

Thank you for opening a new art world for me to study and research.

P.S. California is dear to me as my daughter, son in law and grandson live there. I was thrilled to see Magritte's This is Not a Pipe at LACMA and also a rare lending of
the bust of Costanza by Gianlorenzo Bernini at the Getty. I saw the latter again at the Bargello in Florence.

[Brother Buzz]

13. Here's my cryptic guess

[cyberswede]

21. oh. that makes it obvious.

[lpbk2713]

12. American Gothic would be my guess.

But I'll wait till this evening.

[appalachiablue]

26. FL Wright

[Brother Buzz]

28. LOL, what inspiration did Frank Loyd Wright get from a Sears catalog?

It should be noted that George Lucas's Skywalker Ranch is a whooping six miles away from Frank Loyd Wright's opus.

[CTyankee]

30. oh, boy, that's nice but I dunno the answer...

[malaise]

27. I didn't know the answer

but it was not that hard. Happy Holidays
