The Who am I game

[rinka]

Definitely the woman behind the man.
Creator of and the object of his art.

Thanks...

But can you solve it....? Challenge extended.

So far I don't have any luck with it!!!

 

[LilyBart]

I think that perhaps we need another clue...

Hey guys! I'm so glad someone picked up the ball that I dropped. Many apologies. I'm usually lousy at these sorts of things. It took me ages to come up with a riddle but I finally have one, I think.

I'll save it for the next lull, if that's OK?

It's actually still your turn on the Where-am-I-thread, this is the Who-am-I-thread.

I'm sorry, I forgot about this...

Here goes:

She was Swedish and met her husband in a Scandinavian artist's colony in Grez outside of Paris.

*Hits head against palm tree*

Doh.

Karin Bergoo.

Grez-sur-Loing was a definite clue.

Karin Bergoo.

Grez-sur-Loing was a definite clue.

Correct! She's more known under her married name Karin Larsson and her artistic symbiosis with her husband. Textile artist, furniture designer, decorator...

I find a lot of her work beautiful. Also interesting from a gender perspective; what space and opportunities for expression this man and woman had. And what was valued?

Well, well...

You're up, Chauderlos!

 

[chauderlos]

Thank you, Rinka

He had such an angel face in his younger years... See what years of alcohol and drugs can do ...
His death - he fell from his hotel room window - is subject to discussion: suicide or accident?

He left school at age 16 in 1946 to join the United States Army.

 

[LilyBart]

I believe he is Chet Baker.

Congratulations, Mrs Lily

Here is he, in his younger years:

And for those who aren't familiar with his music, here's a link to one of his best pieces - and there are many to chose from.

It's Your Majesty's turn....

Thank you my dear King...

She was both a muse (to many) and and artist herself.

Any chance that this is the famed Kiki de Montparnasse, lover of Man Ray?

Good grief, an oyster got the riddle. And PDQ too!

And for those into high-end lingerie, the namesake Kiki de Montpanasse store is a fun bit of eye candy...although a bit hard on the wallet.

Congrats, Yanks! Your turn...

It was a wild guess based on having looked at a few pictures of her recently. To be candid, I'd just as soon let someone else set up the next riddle.

Um, sorry, that is against the rules.

You have to post the next riddle. You can do it....really you can!

The (admittedly, self-proclaimed, but-no-one-has-argued Queen, has spoken).

He was a lawyer who had some political success later in life.

Lazy, lazy man.

Where is the *shakes head in disbelief* smiley?

I'll leave this one for Team Europe.

You insisted. I complied. You can see how much I enjoy compliance for the sake of compliance.

However, the rules were obvious before you posted your response. And you've played this game before.

I have absolutely zero sympathy.

So there.

As the Queen, I should really insist that you resubmit another, more appropriate entry. But right now, dinner awaits. I will contemplate next steps while dining.

An oyster...an oyster!

[ShyGuy68]

That looks like Abraham Lincoln

It is.

Your turn.

Indeed, where's the *shakes head* smiley HRH LB talked about a few posts earlier?

If you had posted about:

I would have understood...

Or do you really believe Team Europa is so ignorant about US history?
