In the last last couple of weeks I sent out quite a few letters with various things inside including a piece of a puzzle. It is a fragment of poster of a painting; all in all there are 16 pieces. I hope all the recipients will post their piece online. The first one to guess the artist/ subject matter of the painting will receive a special price. 

Katerina was the first one who received a piece and posted it on her page. You can all post your piece or a link here too. I hope this works and you don't think this is to silly of a game, but the solution is worth keeping an eye out for. Have fun guessing!

It does look like a Franz Marc painting. A good guess.

no, no, no, wrong. no cow or dog.

I got something similar to Katerina Nikoltsou. Is Dean Marks right?

Comment by Dean aka Artist in Seine on December 14, 2012 at 6:58pm

Yep, that's it.  It's the yellow cow or the dog, but wow, XX bought a poster of that cow?  Must of had big cracks in the wall that needed covering up!

  OK now what?  Now that Katerna found it ... with my help.

Dean and Katerina, ok you will get a prize for blogging first. 

Will confirm some of your  guesses: 

1. 20th century art

2. partly European

2. not quite a cut off head, but yes, there is some drama involved

Comment by Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat) on December 14, 2012 at 3:07pm

Yes...we have the first "insight" into what i am thinking is a Franz Marc painting :-)

Just have to google around and see...he did paint a yellow cow once upon a time!

But yours looks like BANANAS, Dean! xxx

OK here are mine together.  Of course, did you think about the other people who will just sit back and wait until everyone else blogs their pieces.  I think Katerina & I should get a prize for blogging first.  What do you think Katerina?

Dean, I love how you put the snow flakes and the envelope together! Thanks!

Comment by xx Jones on December 14, 2012 at 12:36pm

I am sorry Dean, your are wrong. Also, I actually did buy the poster a couple of years ago. Your two pieces should fit together.  I made a mistake - some pieces I cut in two - but then I though 32 pieces is too hard so people got two joining pieces, sorry about that.

Here are my pieces.

Gustav Klimt would have celebrated his 150th Birthday in 2012.  I think someone gave you a poster from the Klimt Exhibitions Vienna 2012 and you cut it up.  For sure it is;

Judith with the Head of Holofernes, 1901

And with it came some very complex snow flakes.  These have been calculated.

Thank you for the snowflakes & the pieces, do I win?
