Vote for the two artists of your choice! Votes generally go in the comments, but have been known to arrive by email, by postcard, or in a sealed envelope.
Please note that you may vote only once in each face-off. Opining that both of the artists in one of the two face-offs is superior to the other is fine, but casting your votes for two artists in the same face-off is not permissible.
Calder and Canova!

ReplyDeleteIt's weird, I thought Burri was preposterous at first, but I'm starting to get a little art-crush on him.
ReplyDeleteAnd Campin -- I don't think that the images I've used for him (keeping in mind that I don't have totally free reign in the way I choose images) do him justice.
Calder and Canova. For once I agree with Morgan.
ReplyDeleteCalder and Campin for me. Though I'd be happy to see any of them sticking around awhile longer. Which is good, because it's looking like a hot little skirmish.
ReplyDeleteCalder- For once I can say that I've been in close proximity to his work here at the Olympic Sculpture park.
ReplyDeleteCampin- the subjects are not to my taste but the picture quality is very mesmerizing.
I think you know which one I like the best: Tiny Tim Breast Feeds a Kid.
ReplyDeleteCalder and Canova!
ReplyDeleteCalder, giant paperclip art!
ReplyDeleteCampin, though yea, after seeing a few other examples...
I was on the fence with the jest pairing, until I realized that Calder didn't just make mobiles- he INVENTED them. And Campin? I'm not sir what animal the woman looks like in the second one, but it's not human.

ReplyDeleteCalder swept this one easily, taking Burri 11-3. Canova had to work a little harder, but still comes up on top 9-5.
