Can you distinguish true art from fake art? Take this quiz to find out: http://www.ee.ucla.edu/~simkin/true_art_or_fake_art.html You will see a dozen of images.
Some of them are True Masterpieces of Abstract Art, created by Immortal Artists. They carry Profound Meanings, which are, however, beyond the apprehensions of the vulgar. The rest were produced by the author of the quiz using common software (like Microsoft Word). They mean nothing.
You are asked to decide on each of the images. Afterwards the quiz is graded automatically. Are you a philistine? |
