And I'll kick things off myself by getting Christo and Cragg on the board.
I feel like this is kinda a weak week, so I definitely have room on my slate for a negative vote for Fantin "Flower Boy" Latour.
I've been waiting to see if one of these high ladder risers can eclipse a past vanquisher. I think this is the first time that's possible, if Chase can outlast Christo. I'll do nothing to help or hurt that possibility as I will vote for both.
Any my last vote will go to Bonnard.
Agreed that the week feels weak. Cragg, Chase, Fantin-Latour.
Bonnard, Chase, Cragg, and Fantin-Latour
Christo and Bonnard are the standouts for me, in this reasonably robust week!
Cragg, Longhi, Bonnard, and Chase.
Christo (whom I was sorry to see had died recently), Longhi, Chase.
I got Christo. Give me Christo. Christo's my man. Looks pretty amazing and probably even cooler in person.
I'M AWAKE!!! Susan's votes -- Christo, Pietro Longhi, Pierre Bonnard & Chase.
