Catena, because of flirty fur and Magritte skies and what the hell is that under the table anyway, a lemur?
Cassatt, because the paintings make me feel classy by just looking at them!
Am I alone in heavily disliking the 2nd Catena? It feels so flat to me and... what is up with the hair.
So, yes, an easy decision for me since I find Cassat's soft impressionism very appealing.
Cassatt!
omg - a kitten at the last supper? that almost gets my vote.
But Cassatt for the win! Just saw a postcard of one of her paintings yesterday and was thinking about how her work is so lovely.
Chalk up another for Cassatt.
Cassatt! Though I admire the second Catena. I always like the flat planes of color in some renaissance portraits, doesn't that black set off the face nicely?
Cassatt, for impressionism with a human face.
A vote-by-mail for Cassatt.
I do loves me some Cassatt, but when I scrolled down and saw the Catena, I was all, Ohhhhhh, man! Brilliant. I'm going with Catena--humanism with a human face!
(Hmm. That doesn't work quite as well, does it.)
