answers in about 3 days.

** Game 6, Round 9 - Arts and Literature - Sculpture and Sculptors

In all cases, give the name of the sculptor.

1. Please see: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/6-9/sculpt/01.jpg

Pope Julius II commissioned this artist to build this sculpture
for his tomb in 1505. The work depicts Moses with horns on
his head.

2. Please see: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/6-9/sculpt/02.jpg

This American artist specialized in depictions of the
late-19th-century American West, evoking romantic images of
cowboys and natives.

3. Please see: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/6-9/sculpt/03.jpg

This Romanian-born sculptor has been called the patriarch of
modern sculpture. This 1908 work is unsurprisingly titled
"The Kiss".

4. Please see: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/6-9/sculpt/04.jpg

Adapting the classical grandeur of Renaissance sculpture and
the dynamic energy of the Mannerist period, this 17th-century
Italian genius forged a new conception for religious and
historical sculpture. This sculpture of Apollo and Daphne is
in Rome's Borghese Gallery, along with several other masterworks.

5. Please see: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/6-9/sculpt/05.jpg

The elongated, very thin figures of this 20th-century surrealist
artist represented his view of the human form. A friend once
said that if he decided to sculpt you, "he would make your head
look like the blade of a knife".

6. Please see: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/6-9/sculpt/06.jpg

This sculpture stood on the grounds of Expo 67 in Montreal.
Its American creator is also famous for his mobiles.

7. Please see: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/6-9/sculpt/07.jpg

This American artist is famous for his life-size plaster-cast
figures that are usually placed in tableaux from everyday life.
He shares his name with a Hollywood actor.

8. Please see: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/6-9/sculpt/08.jpg

This monumental depiction of "The Spirit of Haida Gwaii"
welcomes travelers at Vancouver International airport.
The artist developed his interest in Haida art while working
as a CBC announcer in Toronto during the 1940s.

9. Please see: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/6-9/sculpt/09.jpg

This French artist is famous for his portrayals of ballet
dancers. When this now much-loved work was shown in Paris in
1881, critics said the 14-year-old dancer's face was "marked
by the hateful promise of every vice".

10. Please see: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/6-9/sculpt/10.jpg

This British sculptor has done several series of reclining
figures whose undulating forms may derive from the landscape
of his birthplace in Yorkshire. The world's largest collection
of his work is in Toronto.

There were 2 decoys on the original handout. Identify the sculptors
if you like for fun, but for no points.

11. Please see: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/6-9/sculpt/11.jpg
12. Please see: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/6-9/sculpt/12.jpg

** Game 6, Round 10 - Challenge Round - All in the Family

We didn't have trivia last week because it was Family Day. So, to
make up for our absence...:

A. Science - Family Belongings
B. Entertainment - Families Drawn Together
C. Sports - Families that Play Together
D. Literature - Fiction between Family Members
E. Geography - Family Speech
F. History - Family Rules

* A. Family Belongings

A1. Which family of subatomic particles has members named bottom,
up, and strange?

A2. Geologists classify rocks into three large families or types:
igneous, metamorphic, and what?

* B. Families Drawn Together

B1. In the movie "South Park: Bigger Longer & Uncut", the
fictional American-Canadian War starts when our air force
bombs the residence of two real-life American acting
families, wiping them out. Give *either* family name.

B2. Who is the creator """and voice""" of Peter Griffin and
Stan Smith, two of TV's most obnoxious cartoon fathers?

* C. Families that Play Together

Or play the same sport, at least.

C1. These """are the only""" father and son in the NHL to *both*
have their numbers retired. Give their family name.

C2. The "30-30 club" consists of baseball players who have
hit 30 home runs and stolen 30 bases in the same season.
There """are only two""" players who have each achieved
this feat in 5 different seasons -- and, remarkably, they
also happen to be father and son. Give their family name.

* D. Fiction between Family Members

D1. In "Pride and Prejudice", the patriarch of this family starts
the novel with 5 unmarried daughters. By the end of the
novel, three are married, including, of course, Elizabeth,
who ends up with the initially aloof Mr. Darcy. Give their
family name. (No, not Darcy, the other one.)

D2. They're one of the Great Houses of the Seven Kingdoms --
and the principal house of the Westerlands -- in the "A Song
of Ice and Fire" series of fantasy novels, made famous on
TV as "Game of Thrones". Give their family name.

* E. Family Speech

E1. Though surrounded by members of the Indo-European language
family, this language is unrelated to them, and is considered
to be the last surviving pre-Indo-European language in
Western Europe. What language?

E2. The word "Aryan", which the Nazis appropriated to refer
to their vision of a northern European, pure white "race",
actually has its roots in the description traditionally
used by the peoples of Northern India and Iran to identify
themselves and their languages. But the word "Aryan"
itself is a loan-word taken from which language, still in
limited use, considered one of the earliest members of the
entire Indo-European language family?

* F. Family Rules

F1. Members of this dynastic family, sometimes termed the "House
of France", ruled France directly from 987 to 1328, and gave
rise to the later royal houses of Bourbon and Orleans,
which are considered a part of this overall dynasty.
Name the dynasty.

F2. Name the family dynasty that ruled Japan as shoguns from
1603 until 1867, when the last shogun resigned, with power
soon returning to the Emperor in the Meiji Restoration.

Tokugawa

I may be remembering wrong, but I think the starting year is 1601,
when Ieyasu Tokugawa took the power. He stepped back in favour of
his son aleady in 1603. (But was still acting behind the scenes.)

Wikipedia says Ieyasu Tokugaawa became the strongman after a battle in 1600,
but was not appointed shogun until 1603, and there had not been a real
shogun for some decades. It does not really agree what I've read in books
on Japanese history, but I'm not at home to chcek this. In any case,
Ieyasu abdicated in 1605, not 1603 as I said.
