I like the new ladder entrants! Delvaux and Brown get my vote, plus Rousseau and Daubigny.
ReplyDeleteYay, fresh talent!
ReplyDeleteDelvaux, Brown, Liotard, and Daubigny.
Brown Liotard! And Boudin Rousseau.
ReplyDeleteDelvaux! At least for a few rounds. And I love me some proto-Impressionists, so I'll go with Daubigny and Boudin. But Brown? Yuck! A vote against.
ReplyDeleteDelvaux, Rousseau, Daubigny, and Boudin.

ReplyDeleteWell, let's see, I'll start with Baumeister. Delvaux doesn't do it for me. I can see why Chuck doesn't like Brown, but... I'll vote for... you know what, I won't. I'm looking at that babies face, and I'm not voting for Brown. So, maybe a vote for T. Rousseau? Mostly I like Baumeister.
ReplyDeleteSusan says "Paul Delvaux, Ford Madox Brown, Boudin & the return of Dubigny.
