ReplyDeleteIf I had one to spare, I'd have time deciding who to vote against: Domenico "Giant of the Renaissance" Beccafumi, Serge Jigsaw" Poliakoff, or Donald "IKEA" Judd. But I really like the other 4, so I'll just vote for them (Daubigny, Chase, Lam, and Cellini).
ReplyDeleteI'll vote for Chase and Jigsaw Poliakoff. Cellini's Perseus is pretty good, but I really hate that salt-cellar a lot, so he won't be getting my vote. I run hot and cold on the Cuban Picasso, so we'll split the difference -- I won't vote for him, but I'll at long last correct the spelling of his name, which is apparently "Wifredo," no L.
ReplyDeleteSusan goes for Judd, Chase, Daubigny -- and Beccafumi
