I got 10 out of 10 but honestly two or three times I just (educatedly) guessed.  :D

Got 9/10 with a few guesses. Got the Hokusai one wrong.  ::)
Max Reger was also influenced by the Bocklin painting.
"Courage is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm" (Churchill).

'The test of a work of art is, in the end, our affection for it, not our ability to explain why it is good' (Stanley Kubrick).

Awww :(, that one is my favorite. I love Timbres, Espace, Mouvement.
Beethoven's Op. 133 -- A fugue so bad that even Beethoven himself called it "Grosse".

My mistake reveals my general lack of interest in good old Henri's music  :-[. I must confess I got Maxwell Davies right by chance (was expecting to see Giselher Klebe among the possible answers)...

How about this?

Which piece of music would you place as an aural accompaniment to the visual experience?

When I was teaching European History, the Toledo Museum of Art allowed me to play music that related to their paintings, when my students and I visited their collection.

e.g.

For Anselm Kiefer's Athanor (i.e. "self-feeding furnace," a depiction of Hitler's headquarters after WW II)



I played a part of ...

9/10. Missed #5.
"I don't know what sforzando means, though it clearly means something."

I thought immediately of Klebe when I saw Klee, was confused because he did not show up and guessed Ligeti. And I misclicked Britten for Rake's Progress although I know it is by Stravinsky.
Tout le malheur des hommes vient d'une seule chose, qui est de ne savoir pas demeurer en repos, dans une chambre.
- Blaise Pascal
