These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2014-12-08,
and should be interpreted accordingly.
On each question you may give up to two answers, but if you give
both a right answer and a wrong answer, there is a small penalty.
Please post all your answers in a single followup to the newsgroup,
based only on your own knowledge. (In your answer posting, quote
the questions and place your answer below each one.) I will reveal
the correct answers in about 3 days.
All questions were written by members of Unnatural Axxxe, and are
used here by permission, but have been reformatted and may have
been retyped and/or edited by me. For further information see
my 2014-09-15 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
** Final, Round 3 - Arts & Literature
* Poetry
In each case, name the poet.
1. "Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow."
2. "No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of
the continent, a part of the main... Any man's death diminishes
me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send
to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee."
3. "Turning and turning in the widening gyre,
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world..."
* My Kid Could Do That!
Sometimes abstract art hits a public nerve and causes outrage. From
the outrage, name the artist.
4. This English artist's diamond-encrusted platinum-cast skull,
titled "For the Love of God", was for sale at £50,000,000.
To be fair, it's got around £14,000,000 worth of jewels on it.
It's only the rest that's for labor.
5. "Those are my tax dollars!" In 1989, the National Gallery
bought the painting "Voice of Fire" for $1,800,000. It consists
of three vertical stripes: blue, red, and blue. It's paid off
as an investment, though -- it's now estimated at at least 10
times the cost.
6. A massive public artwork called "The Gates" installed 7,500
"gates" hung with saffron-colored fabric in New York's Central
Park. Mayor Bloomberg defended it, but the New York Post said
it looked like a Home Depot ad.
* Literary Geography
7. Which medieval literary characters set out on a journey from
the Tabard Inn, Southwark? (Identify the group, not the
individuals.)
8. In which fictional country is the castle of Zenda to be found,
in the novel "The Prisoner of Zenda"?
9. Which real-life-based Shakespearean character was known as the
Prince of Tyre?
* Artisans and their Arts
10. Which pottery form takes its name from the Italian words for
"baked earth"?
11. What term is given to the painting technique where pigment is
mixed and bound with egg yolk?
12. Indonesia leads the world in this art form. First a
dye-resistant wax is applied to selected areas of a cloth;
then the cloth is dyed, creating a pattern between the dyed
and dye-resistant areas.
* Taking It to the Streets
Not all art is displayed within the traditional confines of
a gallery.
13. Banksy is the pseudonym of a famous graffiti artist. In 2011,
a documentary about him was nominated for an Academy Award.
Give the film's title.
14. In Toronto's 1993 bicentennial, a huge mural was unveiled
on Front St. E., showing 32 vignettes from the city's history.
The mural was removed in 2011 to accommodate an LCBO.
Whose building did it grace the side of?
15. Name the title sponsor of Toronto's "Nuit Blanche" art event.
