What are these pictures?!!

Mokenda_mint

Okay. For my Art History class the final was released as a take-home test.
One of the categories for it has be completely stumped however!

We're supposed to identify the name and creator for pieces of art supplied with the final itself. However I have 3 huge things going against me.

The images provided were produced via a VERY shoddy copier
The images are NOT in the course provided textbook, nor in my Dad's art book at my house
My image searches are fruitless via internet

With the two Jesus images, they would probably turn up eventually, but the one in the bottom left is completely foreign to me. I don't know if its donuts or some other circular object and the crappy copy job doesn't do me any good.

If anyone can identify these (ESPECIALLY the donut-like one) it would really help me out. I'm totally stumped.

I can't access it due to it being blocked where I am, but if you haven't tried it, it's worth a shot.

The "donuts" one looks like lifesavers to me. In their wrappers. So, maybe that will help your googling?

Sorry, don't know enough about art to identify the others.

No Maam

The last one's a pieta-esque piece if I can make out Mary on the picture.

I'd sugest looking for famous "taking off the cross" pictures.

Yes, it's called a Pieta

Can't you provide a bigger version of the last picture ?

They look like some kind of coins.

Maybe you've already done this, but have you compared these works to other artists you've studied? Chances are that they're pieces by artists that you've studied in detail this semester. A final's supposed to pull stuff together from the class, not pull stuff out of thin air.

How big a time period did you study, anyway? You've got three distinct time periods there–even though the religious ones are both, well, religious, I'd venture to guess that they're not even from the same century (though you obviously know more about this than I do). Then you've got the lifesavers, which are probably photography (or photo-realistic art) from the 1900's. Andy Warhol did something with lifesavers.

His art

But that's obviously not what you're looking for.

Er, in case it wasn't clear with the Andy Warhol thing, the circles look like lifesavers candy, not the tube boats use to save drowning victims. ^^;;;

They look like those… vi-something record thingies you used to be able to get...
vintage stuff.
musical.
[/terrible at explaining stuff]
vinyl records!
[/had an epiphany]

Sonic Youth

You must go to the poorest school ever. Those are just terrible, maybe not even worth answering. And they came in black and white, right? Just sucky…

My guess these are related to a church, a specific time-period or maybe city (considering the coins?). Look up your textbookz!

kmohyudin

Well I tried!! HONEST TO GOD I TRIED!!

All I can find was that there were some Byzantine Coins with pictures of Jesus on them… I don't think thats them though...

Even though I'm probably late, and you turned it in already. Number 3 is Francesco Salviati's The Deposition from the Cross.

Submitted my final. Couldn't get anything answered. Thanks for trying guys ^^;
