So if you painted a portrait, you would be Rembrandt the younger? A
still life makes you Cezanne the younger, if some paint happens to
drip then Pollock the younger, etc.
I don't get it.

I don't know, when I was at SFAI around '91, there was a pretty

I guess I am out of the loop- but I never knew they were conducting such a poll-Was it just for Film Comment readers and contributors? Or did they make an announcement on Frameworks? 
just wondering-

The (hand-selected) list of the 46 contributors is at the bottom of the page.  Would be interesting to see what an open Frameworks poll yielded (although certainly now that History Has Been Written, the results might now follow this list more than they would've otherwise).
