Abstract Art (Meta)

· Di benchen71 · Pubblicato 2022-01-18T05:00:07.634Z

Meta Prompt
The answer to the meta is a painting
Art lovers shouldn't have any problems with this one. But there are lots of hints in this puzzle, so hopefully everyone can make it to the meta answer, which is a painting. Answer and explanation: https://www.xword-muggles.com/viewtopic.php?p=80150#p80150
Check out "The MOAT Mini Pack of Marching Bands" here: https://www.ephesusscroll.com/about/interest4.html. US$5 gets you 7 Marching Bands which, hard enough on their own, now contain metas too. And once again there's a mega-meta!

    I'm not an art lover, but his style was unique. Needed Google-help to finish the grid and find the painting.
    • Mike D 🤓7:10 · 2022-01-18T13:55:38.903Z
      Very nice!
      • Dplass 7:20 · 2022-01-18T14:42:42.716Z
        I got the artist quickly but don't understand the meta. Sadly, according to nga.gov, Blue Poles is not at the NGA.
        • Mike D 🤓7:10 · 2022-01-18T14:44:33.484Z
          I nearly fell into the same trap - but eventually realized it is https://nga.gov.au/ 🇦🇺🇦🇺
          • Dplass 7:20 · 2022-01-18T18:47:32.955Z
            LOL that wouldn't have helped...
            • cshabsin 🤓7:17 · 2022-01-20T16:32:46.808Z
              Ok, that's really unfortunate. There is no way to disambiguate between, say, Blue Poles and Lavender Mist (which is on display at another NGA: https://www.nga.gov/collection/highlights/pollock-number-1-1950-lavender-mist.html), from the clues given.
              • benchen71 costruttore · 2022-01-20T22:38:12.457Z
                You haven't found the meta mechanism which will very definitely disambiguate the two!
          • boharr 3s · 2022-01-18T16:09:00.868Z
            I have to remember you are Australian!
            • Carolyn 4s · 2022-01-18T17:00:29.339Z
              Lots of fun, once I figured out the proper 1A. His work is so distinctive, it's fun to see it in galleries around the world.
              • wendy walker 6s · 2022-01-18T17:04:30.518Z
                Nice one, Ben, and I had fun browsing through both NGAs' websites.
                • MamaEllen 4s · 2022-01-18T17:41:08.025Z
                  Nice puzzle! In my wheelhouse 🙂
                  • markhr 🤓3:32 · 2022-01-18T20:57:52.395Z
                    It took me three tries to get the correct painting. I should have known what NGA actually referred to. Crikey!
                    • Byron 🤓14:27 · 2022-01-20T17:08:50.098Z
                      The NGA doesn't have it listed on their website: https://www.nga.gov/collection/artist-info.1793.html#works
                      • benchen71 costruttore · 2022-01-20T22:38:36.448Z
                        Remember, I'm Australian. We have an NGA too!
                      • LBintheBK 23:58 · 2022-01-20T22:18:31.947Z
