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.

ReplyDeleteYick. Watteau and Wilkie, but I don't really care for any of them.
ReplyDeleteWilkie for sure on the bottom; I think he's the strongest one shown. I suppose I'll vote for Wesselmann on the top. I'm not sure I *like* what he does, but boy does he do it.

ReplyDeleteI'll vote for Watteau and Wilkie, with a special shout-out to Morgan's comment.
ReplyDeleteUh... Not feeling any of them. I'll go with Watteau and the glowering Wilkies.
