ReplyDeleteRubens for technical skill but I prefer Seurat's subject matter.

ReplyDeleteGive me Georges. I know very little about art, but I know that Sunday In the Park . . . is hanging in my hometown of Chicago and is featured in Ferris Bueller's Day Off. All those other ones look great too.

ReplyDeleteThis one is refreshingly easy for people who don't care for Seurat. Like me! I vote for Rubens.
ReplyDeleteI don't like either of them as much as I'm supposed to. But Seurat.....
ReplyDeleteRubens!
ReplyDeleteSorry, I don't like either of them. Abstain.
ReplyDeleteI really like both. Even though I think Seurat is more interesting, and his last picture is my favorite of all of these, I like more of Rubens, so I'll go with him.
