  2. You know, I liked Jasper Johns quite a bit when I was a lot younger, but I don't know, either I'm getting old or his work is looking dated, or both. Anyway: Jordaens.

  6. Jordaens. Johns isn't one of the 20th Century guys I "get".

  7. Take note, modernist collectors: Jasper Johns went only 1-2, falling to Jordaens in an 8-6 upset. Jordaens will take on Gwen Jones in an elimination round next week.
