Woah! Friedrich.
"Caspar F*cking Friedrich", as he was known in my freshman art history class
I really, really want to vote for the sheep, but the gothic horrorscapes that Caspar F*cking Friedrich produced just blow me away. CFF it is.
I will make an exception to my rule of staying out of the early vote in my enthusiasm for Caspar F*cking Friedrich and "The Wreck of the Hope," one of my favorite f*cking paintings. (The sheep are pretty cool too. But Friedrich!!!)
Another for Caspar F*cking Friedrich.
I completely concur with Elizabeth. Friedrich.
Ditto - Sheep are cool, but Friedrich gets my vote.
F*ck Frink. Go Effing Friedrich!
By Email: Friedrich! Finally a Great F! I will join the landslide.
I vote for Caspar the Friendly Friedrich, with "The Old Gym" running a close second.
I will be the lone vote for Frink because our library has two of her aquatint and etching portfolios/books in our special collections, and they are AWESOME. Much better than her sculpture.
Yeah, I'm with the Friedrich crowd.
Friedrich was impressive enough that I surfed for some more images because I was (and still am) trying to figure out why I have no clue about this guy, and some of his other pieces very nearly made me laugh--unintentionally, I think, but I could use a good laugh, so it essentially reinforces my vote for CDF, who was probably bummed that he was around too late for Bach to use his initials as a motif.
Friedrich
And Friedr*ch lays a real beating on Frink on the way to a 13-1 win and a ticket to the Second Round. Voting is closed in this match.
