The Ladder of Art -- Week #26


Cast your votes for up to four of these seven artists by Friday May 31.  For clarifications, consult the Ladder of Art FAQ.


Last week's new guys all got votes, but none of them got enough votes to stick around for a second week.  This week's new guys must find that rather sobering -- but since there are FOUR new guys this week, at least one of them should still be clinging to the Ladder when the dust settles.  Or maybe all of them!

Chase, Correggio, Canaletto, Kalf. Justice for the C's, which I thought were unfairly stacked! And also Kalf, who I find delightful.

This might be an "all four votes for Chase" situation, but that ain't on of course, so I'm going to go with Chase, Chase, Correggio, and Kalf. What, that's not allowed either? Fine. Chase, Correggio, and Kalf.

I'll go with Mr. Canal, Archipenko, and Signorelli. And I'll do my vote against (sorry Michael- I still think you should get that tattoo) Correggio.
