Venus - 2025 ACF Fall - Buzzpoints App

Question

Catherine McCoid and LeRoy McDermott argued that the curvy proportions of figures with this name were from pregnant sculptors looking down at their bodies. For 10 points each:

[10e] Paleolithic figures found at Willendorf and Hohle Fels are named for what goddess, who is depicted in an armless Greek statue “de Milo?”

ANSWER: Venus [accept Venus of Willendorf; accept Venus de Milo; accept Aphrodite or Aphrodite of Melos]

[10m] Two answers required. Sarah Murray has argued that female artisans made much of the geometric designs of Archaic Greek pottery, which was eclipsed by figure-heavy vase paintings named for these two colors.

ANSWER: red AND black [accept red-figure pottery and black-figure pottery]

[10h] Around 100 BCE, the female portraitist Iaia of Cyzicus (“ee-EYE-ah of SIZ-ick-us”) devised quick ways to produce tempera and this other medium. The Fayum portraits were made with this medium in which oils are mixed with heated wax.

ANSWER: encaustic
