I'm not nuts about the 2nd guy, but I like him better than the 1st guy. There always seem to be sheep and other animals around important bible moments in paintings . . .
I'm always surprised enough when I like sculpture or anything from the 20th century that something like this (sculpture from the 20th century) probably kind of ends up with bonus points. I am fond of the flaming tree and the miniature, but I find myself wanting to look at the sculpture more, so it's a vote for Gabo.
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.
Being gluten-free, I must vote for Gabo.

ReplyDeleteI REALLY like the mother and child in the nest of trees (it's Galadriel!), but, Gabo.
