Vallotton and Gozzoli for sure. And then Cragg and Fantin-Latour, although I feel a bit sad for not voting for Johns here.
ReplyDeletePollack! And I'll also go Maillol and Gozzoli. And a vote against Fantin-Latour because his works are so fucking boring.
ReplyDeleteVallotton, Pollack, Cragg, and Fantin-Latour.
ReplyDeleteVallotton, Cragg, and Maillol.
ReplyDeleteVote against Johns.
Hey, did you mix up Ribera and Mondrian? I bet that doesn't happen very often!
ReplyDeleteWell, first of all a vote for Fantin-Latour, because who could possibly fail to love the taut psychological drama implicit in works such as Infiltration of the Secret Portrait Society? Then I guess it's Cragg, Gozzoli, and Vallotton. Looks like I've picked the Morgan slate.
ReplyDeleteFantin-Latour, Vallotton, Gozzoli.
ReplyDeleteSusan says: I seem to have gone down to three VOTES lately, but I love these three: Vallotton, Gozzoli & Fantin-Latour.
ReplyDeleteAnd here's me, voting cleanup: Pollock, though I can't save him; Cragg, though it doesn't change anything; and then perhaps Gozzoli, because that's a good trio.
