Beckmann
It's a hard one. I had to look again at the first Bazille, because I thought it was a photo at first glance. On the other hand, I really like the shading and textures on the final Beckmann. I'll vote Beckmann.
I don't really like either but I guess Bazille.
I really like Beckman's pictures
Bazille, I guess. I don't like the genre of "paintings of rooms full of paintings," but I do really like the guy at the spinet and the drop leaf table and the wood stove, and I like the matte and wiggly trees. Also I like Beckmann's tarot card look in the first one, but I don't like the boobs, bondage, and swords theme. I do like the kid reading under the table, though. That's me. But in the end, Bazille!
Beckmann for me.
Beckmann - but this one was close for me.
An email correspondent goes for Beckmann; but, my personal vote goes to Bazille on the strength of that first vivid landscape.
Bazille
Beckmann. So vibrant and intense.
Bazille.
