Vote for the two artists of your choice! Votes generally go in the comments, but have been known to arrive by email, by postcard, or in a sealed envelope.
Please note that you may vote only once in each face-off. Opining that both of the artists in one of the two face-offs is superior to the other is fine, but casting your votes for two artists in the same face-off is not permissible.

ReplyDeleteOh, I think the Italians have it once again. Reno and Della Robbia. But check your title in the second match.
ReplyDeleteMan, like, none of them? I'll go Reni and Richter.

ReplyDeleteSusan says #1 - Reynolds #2 - Richter
ReplyDeleteReni, who had bad luck in first match. And Richter. The way the baby is breaking his mom's neck in that first Robbia sculpture freaks me out.
ReplyDeleteAw man, Richter and Della Robbia should both have won the First Round. I mean, in my opinion. And let's give it to Reynolds up top.
ReplyDeleteThere's just something about Reynolds that I like. I don't love it, always, but I like it enough to give him the vote here.
ReplyDeleteAnd Della Robbia is good with me.
So, after clarifying that my first vote up there was for Richter, our vote tallies are Reni 7, Reynolds 3; and Richter 7, Robbia 3. Alas, Reynolds an Robbia enter the ranks of the 2 and out. We'll see the other guys this week.
