I am ...Wow, this one is a really tough call for me. I am fond of the Melun Diptych, despite (or because of?) the creepy anatomy and the oddly demonic cherubs. I think the imp-angels surely inspired M.C.Escher. They have also found their way into certain contemporary book-works--<br /> http://susancollard.com/artwork/546460_Annunciation_Triptych_open.html <br />That said, I think I'm going to go with Foujita in this contest. I don't much like his more sentimental work--those big-eyed little girls grate on me--but I really like pieces like the first painting here, the details and the linework and all the receding spaces. And yes, I like the cats too. mrs.5000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10779294.post-82581772619066422912013-04-07T22:32:53.550-07:002013-04-07T22:32:53.550-07:00On first thought, and going from just these exampl...On first thought, and going from just these examples, I was going to say Foujita, but after some googling and research, I'm going with Fouquet.

Why is the virgin Mary bald? And seen independently, would you ever guess it was made in the 1400s? And that's not a compliment. That being said, the other Fouquet pictures I googled I liked. But not enough to bounce out the naked woman cat master.<br />Chuckdaddynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10779294.post-52104598606421731652013-04-07T17:58:08.473-07:002013-04-07T17:58:08.473-07:00FoujitaFoujitaJennershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08044537551139633301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10779294.post-21506531126634803352013-04-07T08:57:26.937-07:002013-04-07T08:57:26.937-07:00Foujita.
