- You may cast votes for up to four artists.

- Since play-in artists were nominated by your peers in the IAT community, including myself, courteous and affirmative voting is in order
- Which is to say, no baggin' on the aesthetic sensibilities of the nominators.

Phase 1, Flight 8 will be open until noon Pacific Time, Sunday, April 28.

Also, I'm assuming you mean April 21st, 2014 for the closing of round 8, because otherwise you've got a problem

ReplyDeleteJay deFeo. I love the abstract light thing going on here. Reminds me of JMW Turner in a weird way.
Brom, because I bet he won't get any votes because his art looks like it should be on Magic: The Gathering cards.

Thomas Hart Benton
Harold Sohlberg
and Rick Bartow, who does really wonderful animal sculptures, including--I'm quite sure of it--the most amazing bear that ever menaced the lobby of the Portland Art Museum, only to disappear from the face of the Googlable universe. But here's a pretty good example of one of his smaller works:

Hmm, let's see here...
ReplyDeleteBenton and Sohlberg, fer shur.
Giovanni di Paolo, for the anachronistic trippitude.
Oh, and Grandma! Respect.
Benton, di Paolo, G. Moses, and Sohlberg, whose paintings somehow remind me of some of my favorite children's books.

And Grandma Moses.
And it looks like we're closed, with another of those vexing third-place ties.
ReplyDeleteThe big names take it this time, with Thomas Hart Benton claiming the top spot, Harald Sohlberg (a medium name, perhaps) taking second, and Giovanni di Paolo sharing a spot with Grandma Moses. You'll be seeing them again fairly soon, in the second phase of the Play-In Subtournament!
