The Ladder of Art -- Week #41


Cast your votes for up to four of these seven artists by Saturday September 28.  For clarifications, consult the Ladder of Art FAQ.


Week #40 saw three newcomers all survive, while two veterans fell off the Ladder -- the first time that's happened, if memory serves.  Let's see if this week's newbs, both gentlemen of the 20th century, have the same good fortune!
