I do enjoy the jaunty penis in the second work by Giambologna, but I think I like the attenuated solemnity of Giacometti a bit better.
Giacometti
Giacometti is super great and I can't pin down why I think that.
If I was Giambologna, I'd be super pissed to be losing this match. But I agree with the crowd- Giacometti
Nice match up. I'll say Giacometti like everyone else.
Giacometti, definitely.
A few years back I read A Giacometti Portrait by James Lord, which is the story of sitting for a portrait day after day as Giacometti works and reworks and scumbles and agonizes over the painting. Interesting close-up view of artistic process.
An emailed vote for Giacometti.
Sticky sculpture over smooth sculpture, and anything over depictions of naked men carrying off anguished naked women. I can't stand it, I just can't. Makes me want to drip molten metal all over the marble. Giacometti for me, as well.
(whispers) Giambologna.
Giacometti!
Giacometti
Giambologna! Interesting to have two sculptors.
Giacometti's sculptures don't have a lot of musculature, but nevertheless put a beating on Giambologna's robust-looking, classically violent dudes, 10-2. Voting is closed in this one.
