Although I appreciate the NC-17 Chirico, I really like Maurice (What true afficianados calls him). I have never heard of him before, but feel like I should have.
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.
Delvaux. How could I resist?
ReplyDeleteDelvaux. Not even close. Plus who *doesn't* hail a cab when they're naked?
ReplyDeleteI was hoping this was an art contest because, as you know, I give out the best titles.
ReplyDeleteFor example, that first piece is called "Skeleton Man Finally Gets Invited to a Gang Bang."
You're welcome.
Delvaux!
ReplyDeleteHadn't heard of either of these. Delvaux, what a weirdo!

ReplyDeleteHere are 2, of many, other pictures I like of his.

This is a tough one--I was prepared to vote for Delvaux, but at Chuckdaddy's suggestion I went image-delving, and I think I'm going to go with Denis.
ReplyDeleteYou know - I think I'll have to go for Denis, too. Quirky positivity does it for me today.
ReplyDeleteDenis.
ReplyDeleteHere's a vote-by-email for Delvaux...
ReplyDelete...but a vote-by-me for Denis. It was close, but Chuck's advocacy worked.

ReplyDeleteThe Denis contingent ties it up... but then falls at the last minute (relatively) as Delvaux takes the round 6-5. YOUR VOTE COUNTS!!!
