Brancusi
ReplyDeleteHm. Delvaux, tonight. Matches my mood.
ReplyDeleteDelvaux's work reminds me too much of the one-point perspective lessons in my middle school drafting class. Let's go for the 3-D perspective of sculpture--Brancusi!
ReplyDeleteI like both, but Brancusi is a perennial favorite.
ReplyDeleteBrancusi's alien baby over Delvaux's projective planes.
ReplyDeleteBrancusi is a favorite of mine.
ReplyDeletesue
I'll agree with my mom- Brancusi
ReplyDeleteBrancusi
ReplyDeleteBrancusi for me, too.
ReplyDeleteDelvaux's dreamworld for me, I think, based more on the one's I saw up close and personal lately than on the examples shown here.
ReplyDeleteWhoa. I was sure that Brancusi had this one in the bag, but that last Delvaux has a train.
ReplyDeleteCan't go past trains. Delvaux it is.
Vote-by-mail for Delvaux.
ReplyDeleteDelvaux.
ReplyDeleteDelvaux's exciting late-match rally couldn't overcome Brancusi's early lead, and the French surrealist falls out of the Tournament by a 5-8 margin. Brancusi marches on to take on Maurice Denis, whom Delvaux beat by a hair way back in Round 1.
ReplyDeleteThanks for voting!
