Bonington for Alison, Kiefer for me, but with mixed feelings from both.
Meh. Bonington, I guess.
Kiefer
I like them both, but I like Anselm Kiefer more, at least today.
I really like both of these, but Bonington for now.....

Last time around I think I told about how we stumbled upon a Kiefer exhibit once and were blown away. His stuff is generally HUGE and impressive in person. It was his sunflowers exhibit we wandered into by accident, http://images.guggenheim-bilbao.es/src/uploads/2012/05/Kiefer_A_Girasoles-Tournesols_1996.jpg
Kiefer.
Here's an emailed vote for Bonington.

Oh, Bonington. Very nice in real life!

Just looked at this on a bigger screen and am going to flip my vote to the terrifying Kiefer.
Chuckdaddy's flip snatched victory away from Bonington and handed it to Kiefer. Final vote total: 7-6.
