Question

A collection of these objects from China titles the memoir of Kay Sage, who painted a giant example of these objects next to an archway in My Room Has Two Doors. One of these objects dangles on a thin string above a rooftop in a landscape titled for these objects On the Plate (Without the Plate). Geese fly out of a white cape worn (10[1])by a giantess guarding one of these objects in a painting by Leonora Carrington. A cage holds one of these objects in (10[1])René Magritte’s (10[1])painting Elective Affinities. A flower sprouts from one of these objects representing a head in Salvador Dalí’s Metamorphosis of (-5[1])Narcissus. Either casein (“KAY-seen”) or materials from these objects are used to make a paint that uses (10[1])a (10[1])binder called gesso (“JESS-oh”) as a ground. For (10[1])10 points, tempera is usually made with milk or (10[1])what (10[1])other (0[2])food items? ■END■
