Vote for up to two artists! Votes go in the comments. Commentary and links to additional work are welcome. This poll will be open for approximately one and a half months past posting.
Too many good artists in this one! Especially in the non-painting category. Impossible to choose between Goldsworthy and Mach, and I'd love to have Lange in for some photographic representation in the tournament.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely going for Maskull Lasserre though.
Sigh ... I really want to vote for the squid, but that means I would drop Escher. All right, I'm following my own heart, and voting for Ernst Haeckel. Sorry, Escher. I'm sure you'll get enough votes from everyone else.
I'll go for Escher, Mach
ReplyDeleteEscher and Lange
ReplyDeleteEscher, Goldsworthy.
ReplyDeleteI'll go with Lange and Escher.
ReplyDeleteI'm a big Goldsworthy fan, and I'll also go with Escher.
ReplyDeleteHaeckel and Lange are my choices.
ReplyDeleteTB
Plenty of strength in this one, no? Goldsworthy without any doubt, for me, but lots of contenders for the number two spot.
ReplyDeleteMuch as I love Escher -- I nominated him as the first artist in the Play-In pool, and think it's bizarre that he's not on the main Tournament list -- I'm going to vote from my heart: Ernst Haeckel. There, I said it.
Goldsworthy and Haeckel. Although I wonder how much that's affected by the fact that they were first.
ReplyDeleteGoldsworthy and Haeckel, I guess.
ReplyDeleteThough if Haeckel was comfortably ahead of Escher, I would have given my vote to Lasserre -- like voting third-party in presidential elections when I live in a "safe" state for whatever major-party candidate I prefer.
Votes-by-mail for Haeckel and Lange, with a note of regret for abandoning Goldsworthy.
ReplyDeleteGoldsworthy and Lange.
ReplyDeleteWith this round complete, Goldsworthy and Haeckel get their ticket to The Big Show. Escher and Lange both lose out by a single vote. One lousy. single. vote.
ReplyDeleteThank you for voting in the Play-in Tournament!!
The second painting you have by Albert Namtjira is actually by another Australian Aboriginal called Peter Taylor. See the signature in the left corner.
