Much as I like Dali, I'm going with Cranach the Elder. I really like his mischievous nymph.
About Dali, I have this to say: "It should be added that the aura of the negative space verges on codifying the accessibility of the work." (http://pixmaven.com/phrase_generator.html)
Dang me, Imma go for Cranach the Elder. I love that crazy landscape, and the portrait in third position looks really real to me. My inner teenager can be briefly mad at me, and then go play video games at the video game arcade.
Oh, Cranach the Elder! Beautiful colors, beautiful action, beautiful landscape. And one of my favorite parts is that lone tree to the right of the castle or whatever that isn't a cell phone tower. Dali has never moved me in the same way--for a long time, not in a positive way at all--and he still hasn't made up enough ground to come close to Cranach.
Salvador Dali is one of the most polarizing artists in the Tournament, but he makes it past Cranach the Elder 9-6 and moves on to the Third Round, where he'll meet Corot next week.

Lucas Cranach the Elder. Dali makes me nauseous. Literally. I'm sure he'd like that.

Dali, you had me at the melting clocks
ReplyDeleteSalvador Dali because I like the colors a lot.
ReplyDeleteDali will always get my vote. I hope he takes the whole damn thing.
ReplyDeleteCranach the Elder, though my inner teenager is going to be mad at me.
ReplyDeleteDali certainly won't always get my vote. But I suppose he can have it for now.

ReplyDeleteHere's an email vote for Cranach the Elder -- "even if I didn't dislike Dali, I love those ladies!"
ReplyDeleteCranach is great, but, well, Dali.
