I like Léger
ReplyDeleteMorandi All the way baby!!
ReplyDeleteI really dislike some of Legér's works. Still, I like them better when they get more abstract and Morandi's catalog is a bit of a snorefest.
ReplyDeleteBlech to Morandi. Leger.
ReplyDeleteSusan votes for Morandi by email.
ReplyDeleteAlso, "Kalacandra" is an awfully cool alias, or perhaps it's an actual name. Thanks for your vote!
Wow, boring vs. not boring. Léger.
ReplyDeleteFor me, it's Morandi by a whisker.
ReplyDeleteMorandi!
ReplyDeleteLeger.
ReplyDeleteMorandi fails to go all the way, baby, and loses the match -- and his place in the Tournament -- to Legar, 8 votes to 5.
