What makes this week so big? I request, by way of vote, that you advance the following artists: Kiefer, Cuyp, Hodler, Corot.
ReplyDeleteKiefer really gets what he's going for- right? So he gets a vote. The artists I'm feeling this week are Hodler and Utrillo. Which leaves me with a negative vote for the first time in a while. I might not get Rothko, but I also don't not get him, if you catch my drift. I think I'm definitely in the minority here, but I don't really like Cuyp, whose just a bit too crisp for my liking.
ReplyDeleteCuyp, Hodler, Kiefer, and Corot.
ReplyDeleteCorot, Utrillo, Hodler, and Cuyp.
ReplyDeleteSusan like Anselm Kiefer, Adelbert Cuyp, Hodler & Corot.
ReplyDeleteMe, I'll stick with Hodler and Cuyp.
ReplyDeleteHmmmm. I'll go with Monaco, Cuyp, and Hodler.
ReplyDeleteCuyp, Utrillo.
ReplyDeleteHey, I'm going to throw in a vote for Rothko, just so he gets some love on his way out. Huzzah for his subway series.
