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?
Voting in the Infinite Art Tournament? Awesome. And, please be aware that purely anonymous votes are not counted. You don't need to log in or use your real name, but you must identify yourself in some fashion for your vote to count.
Carpaccio. I can find something to like about all of his paintings you show.
ReplyDeleteThough I really like the first Carrà, the color palette and the subject matter of the others don't do anything for me.
Capaccio

ReplyDeleteI like carpaccio but love me those Italian Futurists. I particularly like Carra's collage (we need more collagists!) Interventionist Demonstation.
ReplyDeleteAll the modern day influences of collage and cubistic themes have me going for Carra.
ReplyDeleteI like Carra!
ReplyDeleteCarpaccio, though I still really enjoy the Carra horse and rider.
ReplyDeleteCarrà, 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...
ReplyDeleteCarrà and Italian Futurism for me, thanks! Carrà is kind of the poor man's Balla.
ReplyDeleteA vote-by-mail for Carpaccio.
ReplyDeleteCarpaccio!
ReplyDeleteCarpaccio probably would have gotten my vote if I didn't like Carra's new one so much!
ReplyDeleteCarpaccio squeezes out a narrow 7-6 win and will advance to the Third Round. Voting is closed in this match.
