Round 7: Tossup 10
This pattern is featured in the current logo of the Tate Modern gallery. This pattern adorns plastic sculptures of pumpkins in one of the Infinity Mirror Rooms by a contemporary artist from Japan who uses this pattern extensively. This pattern covers the face of a girl who thinks “I’d rather sink -- than call Brad for help!” in a painting by (*) Roy Lichtenstein, who used this pattern to imitate the Ben Day process used in comic books. A painting made entirely using this pattern features a woman walking a monkey on a leash along the Seine on la Grande Jatte. For 10 points, name this pattern used by Georges Seurat to create pointillist paintings. ■END■
