Bronzino.

Woah! Brauner is rad; I vote for him.

Chuckdaddy said...

Brauner had pretty much won since he didn't have cupids, but after looking at more of his pictures he definitely won.

Bronzino ("Because those people looke alive")

Bronzino, that's a heavy metal salute in the first one!

Nichim said...

Bronzino, but I'm pretending I didn't see the one with the cupids.

Hey, a few minutes of research, and I'll throw in for Victor Brauner. He's got more up his sleeve than you might think, just looking at these two images. Whereas Bronzino? The cupids were clearly the high point.

Jenners said...

Brauner!! Weird weird stuff.

Candida said...

Neither. But I'll go with Bronzino because I think he doesn't hate women as much. I'm not sure, but that's my impression.

Victor Brauner, for sure

For me, this is the least impressive match-up we've seen so far. I'll cast my vote for Bronzino because he doesn't seem to be channeling troubled adolescent-boy fantasies about women as much. Plus, the heavy metal salute, plus the cupid looks vaguely like junior voter Elliott.

Bronzino has great realism, but is a bit lacking in passion. I have to go with the Tortured Artist (tm) in this case. Brauner it is.

And this pairing closes with Bronzino on top by a single vote!
