On the other hand, he really is a bit of a Johny One-Note. He cranked out enough copies of Summer so that pretty much every regional museum can have one, which is nice, but he didn't really do much else.<br /><br />Fra Angelico was spare before spare was cool. He's so abstract it's emotional.</b>Michael5000https://www.blogger.com/profile/10148584819327475239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10779294.post-4162158895908038562013-05-19T22:18:21.812-07:002013-05-19T22:18:21.812-07:00Here's an email vote for the Fra.<b>Here's an email vote for the Fra.</b>Michael5000https://www.blogger.com/profile/10148584819327475239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10779294.post-7695368592553431102013-05-15T20:54:01.860-07:002013-05-15T20:54:01.860-07:00"Greek scene?

It seems like some shtick that a computer could do really well today. It does make me more intrigued about him though. I mean, was he like, "Greek scene? No, Bible scene. No, Greek scene? Screw it, I'm making people out of food."<br /><br />But I'm not intrigued enough to vote for him. Fra rocks! I love his colors and scenes... I freed him from a tie break, I have to have his back.
