A strong batch of artists this week! Very hard choice. I'll go Hodler, Modersohn-Becker, De Chirico, and Derain, but it's very close.
Yeah, I like them all except for Modersohn-Becker. I'll go with Chirico, Millais, Hodler, and Utrillo.
Hodler, Chirico, Millais, and Derain
Hodler, Millais, Derain, and Utrillo
Di Chirico (certainly), Utrillo, Modersohn-Becker, and Millais.
Well, Hodler mostly for me. Utrillo feels like he should be hanging as a bogus lifestyle signal in my big suburban house or casual cafe, but in a good way; I'll vote for him too.
Susan says: "VOTES -- Hodler -- Because my family lived in Switzerland when I was eight & nine -- a most impressionable age. I remember seeing landscapes there no less impressive than the one he paints.
And Modersohn-Becker, De Chirico & Derain."
Hodler, Millais.
