Balla! Although I'm not sure I voted for him last time, and I love the patterns in the first Balthus painting here. I like Balla's light and movement a lot. So I vote for him.
Balthus, again. Did I ever tell you that I visited his home, or at least where he lived and worked for a while? I just remembered. http://last-best-year.blogspot.com/2007/08/le-roi-des-chats.html
I like Balthus and his controvesial, dare I say subversive (ahem, Guitar Lesson) paintings, but I gotta go with Balla - I'm digging his 4-dimensional painting style!
(Let me add, I'd probably pick Balthus based on the pictures posted here...but there are at least two Ballas not here that I've long been very fond of...)
