New artists? Boo! Only artists we've seen before for me! Lam, Judd, Chase, Daubigny.
Beccafumi, Lam, Daubigny, and Chase.
Daubigny, Chase, Cellini, and Judd
If I had one to spare, I'd have time deciding who to vote against: Domenico "Giant of the Renaissance" Beccafumi, Serge Jigsaw" Poliakoff, or Donald "IKEA" Judd. But I really like the other 4, so I'll just vote for them (Daubigny, Chase, Lam, and Cellini).
I'll vote for Chase and Jigsaw Poliakoff. Cellini's Perseus is pretty good, but I really hate that salt-cellar a lot, so he won't be getting my vote. I run hot and cold on the Cuban Picasso, so we'll split the difference -- I won't vote for him, but I'll at long last correct the spelling of his name, which is apparently "Wifredo," no L.
Susan goes for Judd, Chase, Daubigny -- and Beccafumi
Beccafumi, Chase,
Chase, Beccafumi, and Poliakoff.
