Carpaccio. I can find something to like about all of his paintings you show.
Though I really like the first Carrà, the color palette and the subject matter of the others don't do anything for me.
Capaccio
Carpaccio!
Yeah, I'm going to go with Carpaccio also. I just love those bored Venetian ladies with their animals. That painting looks so modern (though apparently it's cut down from a diptych, which enhances the effect). How often do we get to see anyone from the Renaissance with poor posture?
I like carpaccio but love me those Italian Futurists. I particularly like Carra's collage (we need more collagists!) Interventionist Demonstation.
All the modern day influences of collage and cubistic themes have me going for Carra.
I like Carra!
Carpaccio, though I still really enjoy the Carra horse and rider.
Carrà, who presses my futurism buttons. I've always liked that 2nd one for some reason I can't put my finger on. Reminds me of De Chirico...
Carrà and Italian Futurism for me, thanks! Carrà is kind of the poor man's Balla.
A vote-by-mail for Carpaccio.
Carpaccio!
Carpaccio probably would have gotten my vote if I didn't like Carra's new one so much!
Carpaccio squeezes out a narrow 7-6 win and will advance to the Third Round. Voting is closed in this match.
