This is another one of these where I could pretty happily vote for all of them on a different week. I'll vote:
ReplyDeleteJohns. I think Three Flags would probably be neat to see in real life.
Vallotton. I remember being disappointed that he didn't go further in the main tournament.
Cragg. But not actually for the pieces on display this week! I like the one we've seen previously with the green bottles the best.
Chase. I'm just a sucker for that top one.
Vallotton, Chase, Cragg, and Guardi
ReplyDeleteVallotton, Chase, Cragg, and Johns
ReplyDeleteWitz (That water in the second one!), Chase, Vallotton, and Guardi
ReplyDeleteJohns, Mondrian, Chase.
ReplyDeleteHmm, this is an interesting one. I think I'll give Johns at least a courtesy vote, maybe a bump for Witz, then Mondrian and definitely Cragg.
ReplyDeleteThen, live from New York, Susan says "Three VOTES today: Felix Vallotton, Guardi & Chase."
ReplyDeleteVallotton, Witz, Mondrian, and Chase.
