  4. Soulages is kind of interesting. In the Wiki article section on his "artistic practice," he's quoted as saying "My instrument is not black but the light reflected from the black." He uses the term outrenoir, beyond black. Cool.

    But Sodoma is very beautiful and colorful, and I will have to go with him.

  5. Despite a few voices of protest, Sodoma really ran away with this one. He'll move on to the Second Round with nine yes votes on his record, and only two votes against.
