Close! I like 'em both. I'll vote Brancusi.
Braques for me! Mmmm, I especially like that second one, my favorite flavor of cubism--the bright, fun, collagy still-life.
Braque
Brancusi. Out of these four pieces of art I only like the stone kissy twins.
Brancusi for sculpture Braques for painting
Tsk tsk, mcl, you know it doesn't work like that...
Braque, hands down.
Brancusi, for the kissy twins.
Brancusi. I like the idea that those starkly alone Easter Island figures get to be together (in my mind, whatever Brancusi intended).
Brancusi … just for that first one. So appealing.
Good match up. While I like Braque I really like Brancusi. He did a ton of awesome stuff. Also, I've always gotten a chuckle out of how US Customs refused to let his ''Bird in Space'' sculpture into the US as "art", apparently not believing it could be art. It was admitted as "Kitchen Utensils and Hospital Supplies". Haha!
BTW, a professor in an art history class I once took made a big deal out of the nail and its shadow in that first Braque. Something about cubism exploding space into fractured shards but the whole held together with that one nail. Something about the nail representing traditional painting clinging desperately to the crazy cubism. Yadda yadda, something like that...
Braque
An emailed vote for Braque.
And my own vote goes for Braque too. Mmm, Cubism....
Braque for me!
Yoiks, it's a tie! That means that Brancusi and Braque stay in Round 1, and will eventually take on play-in artists as they enter the tournament! Look for them again in approximately Summer 2014!
Uh oh. Clerical error? I believe Braque actually won this 7-6. The IAT's Stolen Election?
Chuckdaddy is quite right. Braque actually won this match, 7-6.
