The results are in, and let's see here...<br /><br />Daubigny has a clear victory, a margin of two votes even, so he gets the bye week and will rejoin the fray in Week 4. There's a three-way tie for second, which sends Orcagna, Lochner, and Vouet on to Week 3, where they'll join Domenichino and Yeats (who had the bye after Week 1) and two fresh ladder aspirants.<br /><br />Ryman, with -1 votes, drops off the bottom and lands at #509, a drop of ten rungs for the beleaguered American. Pechstein and Beuys, tied for fifth here, drop four rungs apiece to #508 and #507, respectively.</b>Michael5000https://www.blogger.com/profile/10148584819327475239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10779294.post-47199034957495847962018-12-05T19:36:20.865-08:002018-12-05T19:36:20.865-08:00I'll go for Orcagna, Beuys, Daubigny, and Voue...I'll go for Orcagna, Beuys, Daubigny, and Vouet. mrs.5000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10779294.post-14595324743061063032018-12-05T19:28:00.553-08:002018-12-05T19:28:00.553-08:00Daubigny and a whole heap of (shoulder shrug) for ...Daubigny and a whole heap of (shoulder shrug) for the rest.

His performance art seems to really land in that he's-taking-himself-too-seriously-but-is-so-genuinely-absurd-it-works zone. Talking to a dead rabbit with honey on his head? Check. Hanging out with a coyote while dressed as a shephard? Check.<br /><br />The last vote was tough at first. I should hate Ryman, but someone had to do it, and maybe he did do white best? And I feel like I should like Daubigny more, but he's so dreary. Vouet is definitely talented but a bit much. My tough decision was made easier after looking at more Pechsteins. He has a bunch that remind me of Gauguin, which I liked better than the sloppy fauvres here. So he'll get my 4th vote.<br /><br />Go ladder!boonec1974https://www.blogger.com/profile/17948326639930610842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10779294.post-30465583202526057722018-12-01T21:37:49.450-08:002018-12-01T21:37:49.450-08:00For me, Beuys, Daubigny, Lochner, Vouet.
