Yes! Roger Dean!
Hans Heysen and Wolfli have my vote.
Hey, where did my votes go?
Heysen and Wolfli seem like the slam dunks here to me. And I'm throwing in a vote for Van Gaard on an alt.art-history platform. Chokra, after all the digging around I did finding named artists in the South Asian tradition, I'm throwing under the bus. Heysen, Wolfli, Van Gaard.
Definitely the Mysterious Book Artist of Scotland - those are awesome. I'm torn for my other three between Dean, Van Gaard, Heysen, and Chasseriau; I think in the end I'll go with the first three. So for ease:
Mysterious Book Artist
Dean
Van Gaard
Heysen
Mysterious Book Artist of Scotland, Heysen, Wolfli, Chokha.
Oh my, I've fallen behind on voting, time to catch up! And without a huge amount of critical thought!
1 Hans Heysen
2 Adolf Wolfli
3 The Mysterious Book Artist of Scotland
4 Van Gaard
I find it interesting that the Mrs. and you are one of the few people not to vote for the Mysterious Scottish Book Artist even though you both had votes to spare.
And I'll change my Licher to a Chokha
Chuck: Licher to Chokha, check. You, Nichim, and Candida are voting en banc.
The MBAoS is... fine, but a bit twee for my tastes. Can't speak for the Mrs. Wouldn't dare, in fact.
Here's a vote-by-email coming in:
"I'm voting Roger Dean, Hans Heysen (I love all window paintings -- have a collection of postcards of same), Chokha (how could you resist the Fat Falconer?) & the Mysterious Book Artist."
Van Gaard, Heysen, Scotland, Licher!
And voting is hereby closed in this here play-in tournament flight, with The Mysterious Book Artist of Scotland, Heysen, and Wolfli advancing to the second phase.
